Subject: [PATCH] kthread: Unpark only parked kthread
Date: Fri, 13 Sep 2024 23:46:34 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240913214634.12557-1-frederic@kernel.org> (raw)
Calling into kthread unparking unconditionally is mostly harmless when
the kthread is already unparked. The wake up is then simply ignored
because the target is not in TASK_PARKED state.
However if the kthread is per CPU, the wake up is preceded by a call
to kthread_bind() which expects the task to be inactive and in
TASK_PARKED state, which obviously isn't the case if it is unparked.
As a result, calling kthread_stop() on an unparked per-cpu kthread
triggers such a warning:

Fix this with skipping unecessary unparking while stopping a kthread.
