[ Upstream commit 6fc45b6ed921dc00dfb264dc08c7d67ee63d2656 ] In delay_presuspend, we set the atomic variable may_delay and then stop the timer and flush pending bios. The intention here is to prevent the delay target from re-arming the timer again. However, this test is racy. Suppose that one thread goes to delay_bio, sees that dc->may_delay is one and proceeds; now, another thread executes delay_presuspend, it sets dc->may_delay to zero, deletes the timer and flushes pending bios. Then, the first thread continues and adds the bio to delayed->list despite the fact that dc->may_delay is false. Fix this bug by changing may_delay's type from atomic_t to bool and only access it while holding the delayed_bios_lock mutex. Note that we don't have to grab the mutex in delay_resume because there are no bios in flight at this point.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
