[PATCH 97/48] libertas: don't exit worker thread until kthread_stop() is called

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

 



Date: Thu, 13 Dec 2007 21:48:00 -0500

The kthread code can't cope with a thread exiting of its own accord and
then someone calling kthread_stop() for it. When the thread detects that
it needs to die, make it wait for kthread_stop() to be called.
