From: Nikolay Borisov <kernel@xxxxxxxx> This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any objections, please let us know. =============== commit 18d03e8c25f173f4107a40d0b8c24defb6ed69f3 upstream. When a thin pool is being destroyed delayed work items are cancelled using cancel_delayed_work(), which doesn't guarantee that on return the delayed item isn't running. This can cause the work item to requeue itself on an already destroyed workqueue. Fix this by using cancel_delayed_work_sync() which guarantees that on return the work item is not running anymore.
