Subject: [patch 1/7] qeth: ungrouping a device must not be interruptible
Date: Mon, 27 Aug 2007 19:27:32 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070827173059.153822000@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20070827172731.370533000@linux.vnet.ibm.com

[-- Attachment #1: 703-qeth-ungroup.diff --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1494 bytes --]

From: Ursula Braun <braunu@de.ibm.com>

Problem:
A recovery thread must not be active when device is removed.
In qeth_remove_device() an interruptible wait operation is used
to wait until a qeth recovery thread is finished. If a user really
interrupts the ungroup operation of a qeth device while a recovery
is running, cio and qeth are out of sync (device already removed
from cio, but kept in qeth). A following module unload of qeth
results in a kernel OOPS here.

Solution:
Do not allow interruption of ungroup operation to guarantee
finishing of a potentially running qeth recovery thread.
