    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    dm thin: Fix UAF in run_timer_softirq()

    When dm_resume() and dm_destroy() are concurrent, it will
    lead to UAF, as follows:

     BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in __run_timers+0x173/0x710

    One of the concurrency UAF can be shown as below:

            use                                  free
    do_resume                           |
      __find_device_hash_cell           |
        dm_get                          |
          atomic_inc(&md->holders)      |
                                        | dm_destroy
                                        |   __dm_destroy
                                        |     if (!dm_suspended_md(md))
                                        |     atomic_read(&md->holders)
                                        |     msleep(1)
      dm_resume                         |
        __dm_resume                     |
          dm_table_resume_targets       |
            pool_resume                 |
              do_waker  #add delay work |
      dm_put                            |
        atomic_dec(&md->holders)        |
                                        |     dm_table_destroy
                                        |       pool_dtr
                                        |         __pool_dec
                                        |           __pool_destroy
                                        |             destroy_workqueue
                                        |             kfree(pool) # free pool
            time out
    __do_softirq
      run_timer_softirq # pool has already been freed

    This can be easily reproduced using:
      1. create thin-pool
      2. dmsetup suspend pool
      3. dmsetup resume pool
      4. dmsetup remove_all # Concurrent with 3

    The root cause of this UAF bug is that dm_resume() adds timer after
    dm_destroy() skips cancelling the timer because of suspend status.
    After timeout, it will call run_timer_softirq(), however pool has
    already been freed. The concurrency UAF bug will happen.

    Therefore, cancelling timer again in __pool_destroy().
