[ Upstream commit5c0dd228b5] When kzalloc fail, may cause trying to destroy the workqueue from inside the workqueue. If num_connections is m (2 < m), and NO.1 ~ NO.n (1 < n < m) kzalloc are successful. The NO.(n + 1) failed. Then, nbd_start_device will return ENOMEM to nbd_start_device_ioctl, and nbd_start_device_ioctl will return immediately without running flush_workqueue. However, we still have n recv threads. If nbd_release run first, recv threads may have to drop the last config_refs and try to destroy the workqueue from inside the workqueue. To fix it, add a flush_workqueue in nbd_start_device.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
