From: Tejun Heo dm_snapshot->queued_bios_work isn't used. Remove ->queued_bios[_work] from dm_snapshot structure, the flush_queued_bios work function and ksnapd workqueue. The DM snapshot changes that were going to use the ksnapd workqueue were either superseded (fix for origin write races) or never completed (deallocation of invalid snapshot's memory via workqueue).
