6.6-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Fedor Pchelkin <pchelkin@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit bb9025f4432f8c158322cf2c04c2b492f23eb511 ] kthread creation failure is invalidly handled inside do_map_benchmark(). The put_task_struct() calls on the error path are supposed to balance the get_task_struct() calls which only happen after all the kthreads are successfully created. Rollback using kthread_stop() for already created kthreads in case of such failure. In normal situation call kthread_stop_put() to gracefully stop kthreads and put their task refcounts. This should be done for all started kthreads. Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org).
