From: Mike Snitzer Fix two places in commit 104655fd4dce ("dm thin: support discards") that didn't use pool->lock to protect against concurrent changes to the prepared_discards list. Without this fix, thin_endio() can race with process_discard(), leading to concurrent list_add()s that result in the processes locking up with an error like the following: WARNING: at lib/list_debug.c:32 __list_add+0x8f/0xa0() ... list_add corruption. next->prev should be prev (ffff880323b96140), but was ffff8801d2c48440. (next=ffff8801d2c485c0). ...
