You forgot to CC me and Alex.

This introduces a non-interruptible wait here, which should be ok given
that all outstanding operations will be cancelled by core as part of
connection disable before stopping the kthread during disconnect.
But this driver is full of such subtleties and really needs a clean up
(or rewrite).

You have a pointer to the bundle you should use here and below.

The fact that user-space can reset test counters and change parameters
while a test is running is really another bug.
