Subject: [PATCH 2/4] pktgen: make sure that pktgen_thread_worker has been executed
Date: Tue, 20 May 2008 13:59:47 +0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1211277589-8565-2-git-send-email-den@openvz.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1211277589-8565-1-git-send-email-den@openvz.org>

The following courruption can happen during pktgen stop:
list_del corruption. prev->next should be ffff81007e8a5e70, but was 6b6b6b6b6b6b6b6b
kernel BUG at lib/list_debug.c:67!
      :pktgen:pktgen_thread_worker+0x374/0x10b0
      ? autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x40
      ? _spin_unlock_irqrestore+0x42/0x80
      ? :pktgen:pktgen_thread_worker+0x0/0x10b0
      kthread+0x4d/0x80
      child_rip+0xa/0x12
      ? restore_args+0x0/0x30
      ? kthread+0x0/0x80
      ? child_rip+0x0/0x12
RIP  list_del+0x48/0x70

The problem is that pktgen_thread_worker can not be executed if kthread_stop
has been called too early. Insert a completion on the normal initialization
path to make sure that pktgen_thread_worker will gain the control for sure.
