[PATCH 6.9 213/427] kunit: Fix kthread reference

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

 



6.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Mickaël Salaün <mic@xxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit f8aa1b98ce40184521ed95ec26cc115a255183b2 ]

There is a race condition when a kthread finishes after the deadline and
before the call to kthread_stop(), which may lead to use after free.
