Subject: [PATCH v2] Bluetooth: bnep: Fix deadlock in session deletion
Date: Fri, 5 Aug 2011 10:41:35 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1312555295.2172.2.camel@THOR> (raw)
Commit f4d7cd4a4c introduced the usage of kthread API.
kthread_stop is a blocking function which returns only when
the thread exits. In this case, the thread can't exit because it's
waiting for the write lock, which is being held by bnep_del_connection()
which is waiting for the thread to exit -- deadlock.
Use atomic_t/wake_up_process instead to signal to the thread to exit.
