This patch is part of fix for triggering of WARN_ON_ONCE() in disk_clear_events() reported in bug#34662. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34662 disk_clear_events() blocks events, schedules and flushes the event work. It expects the work to have started execution on schedule and finished on return from flush. WARN_ON_ONCE() triggers if the event work hasn't executed as expected. This problem happens because __disk_block_events() fails to guarantee that the event work item is not in flight on return from the function in race-free manner. The problem is two-fold and this patch addresses one of them. When __disk_block_events() is called with @sync == %false, it bumps event block count, calls cancel_delayed_work() and return. This makes it impossible to guarantee that event polling is not in flight on return from syncing __disk_block_events() - if the first blocker was non-syncing, polling could still be in progress and later syncing ones would assume that the first blocker already canceled it. Making __disk_block_events() cancel_sync regardless of block count isn't feasible either as it may race with forced event checking in disk_clear_events(). As disk_check_events() is the only user of non-syncing __disk_block_events(), updating it to directly cancel and schedule event work is the easiest way to solve the issue. Note that there's another bug in __disk_block_events() and this patch doesn't fix the issue completely. Later patch will fix the other bug.
