Hello. I am reporting a suspected race bug at sdio_irq_thread() in drivers/mmc/core/sdio_irq.c of Linux 2.6.30.5. I hope this report is helpful. I am not certain whether this reports real bug or not since I do not have much background. So, please examine the report and let me know your opinion. sdio_irq_therad() is spawned as a sdio_card_irq_get(). This thread is stopped by sdio_card_irq_put(). sdio_irq_thread() finishes its do-while iteration when kthread_should_stop() returns true or a condition is satisfied (break statements at line 106) For the later case, if sdio_irq_thread() is finished before kthread_should_stop() returns false. In that situation, if other thread invokes kthread_stop(), the caller of kthread_stop() might have a problem (waiting indefinitely). Could you examine the possibility of this type of errors please?
