3.2.54-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 718822c1c112dc99e0c72c8968ee1db9d9d910f0 upstream. The dm-delay target uses a shared workqueue for multiple instances. This can cause deadlock if two or more dm-delay targets are stacked on the top of each other. This patch changes dm-delay to use a per-instance workqueue.
