[added to the 3.18 stable tree] EDAC: Robustify workqueues destruction

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

 



From: Borislav Petkov <bp@xxxxxxx>

This patch has been added to the 3.18 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.

===============

[ Upstream commit fcd5c4dd8201595d4c598c9cca5e54760277d687 ]

EDAC workqueue destruction is really fragile. We cancel delayed work
but if it is still running and requeues itself, we still go ahead and
destroy the workqueue and the queued work explodes when workqueue core
attempts to run it.

Make the destruction more robust by switching op_state to offline so
that requeuing stops. Cancel any pending work *synchronously* too.
