Subject: [PATCH]rtl8187:fixed kernel panic on module unload
Date: Mon, 30 Nov 2009 20:21:03 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <63741259601663@webmail119.yandex.ru> (raw)

rtl8187: fix kernel panic on module unload (BUG in rtl8187_leds_exit())
	Signed-off-by: Tkhai Kirill <tkhai@yandex.ru>
---
The function rtl8187_leds_exit must not return until all LED's works
in device workqueue have completed or cancelled. Otherwise, we can get
the folowing:
	wq = create_singlethread_workqueue("phyX");

	INIT_DELAYED_WORK(&work, work_func);
	queue_delayed_work(wq, &work, HZ/20);

	destroy_workqueue(wq);

=======>kernel panic
On current vanila driver code (when running on SMP systems), panic happens
almost every time. My patch for version 2.6.31 (and 2.6.31.6 too):
