Subject: [PATCH] vhost: Avoid that vhost_work_flush() locks up
Date: Fri, 05 Jul 2013 10:36:46 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <51D6859E.2040500@acm.org> (raw)
Wake up work->done waiters even if the TIF_NEED_RESCHED task flag
has been set. This patch fixes a regression introduced in commit
d550dda (kernel v3.4).
