[PATCH] qla2xxx: Fix possible race that could hang kthread_stop()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



There is a small race window in qla2x00_do_dpc() between
checking for kthread_should_stop() and going to sleep after
setting TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE. If qla2x00_free_device() is called
in this window, kthread_stop will wait forever because there 
will be no one to wake up the process.
