Subject: [PATCH 1/2] fix EH thread teardown
Date: Wed, 7 Sep 2005 15:51:05 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20050907135105.GA16340@lst.de> (raw)

As Rolf Eike Beer noted we might not actually get to the
kthread_should_stop() because we are waiting in the semaphore forever.
I didn't get a rmmod hang because of this, but my instrumentation showed
the thread defitiyly didn't exit.

So make sure to wake the EH thread before the kthread_stop, and to plug
the reaming race check kthead_should_stop() a second time just before
calling down_interruptible().
