dm-delay: fix hung task introduced by kthread mode
If the worker thread is not woken due to a bio, then it is not woken at all. This causes the hung task check to trigger. This occurs, for instance, when no bios are submitted. Also when a delay of 0 is configured, delay_bio() returns without waking the worker. Prevent the hung task check from triggering by creating the thread with kthread_run() instead of using kthread_create() directly. Fixes: 70bbeb29fab0 ("dm delay: for short delays, use kthread instead of timers and wq") Signed-off-by: Joel Colledge <joel.colledge@linbit.com> Reviewed-by: Benjamin Marzinski <bmarzins@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@kernel.org>
