Create nbd server nbd-server 8000 /tmp/disk 4. Create nbd client nbd-client localhost 8000 /dev/nbd1 Then will trigger above issue. Reason is when add delay in recv_work, lead to relase the last reference of 'nbd->config_refs'. nbd_config_put will call flush_workqueue to make all work finish. Obviously, it will lead to deadloop. To solve this issue, we must ensure 'recv_work' all exit before release the last 'nbd->config_refs' reference count.
