Subject: [PATCH 1/2] net: pktgen: fix race between pktgen_thread_worker() and kthread_stop()
Date: Wed, 8 Jul 2015 21:42:11 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150708194211.GA26552@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20150708194154.GA26534@redhat.com>

pktgen_thread_worker() is obviously racy, kthread_stop() can come
between the kthread_should_stop() check and set_current_state().
