Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.9 02/21] rsi: improve kernel thread handling to fix kernel panic
Date: Fri, 29 Mar 2019 21:30:53 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190330013112.784-2-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20190330013112.784-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: Siva Rebbagondla <siva.rebbagondla@redpinesignals.com>
[ Upstream commit 4c62764d0fc21a34ffc44eec1210038c3a2e4473 ]
While running regressions, observed below kernel panic when sdio disconnect
called. This is because of, kthread_stop() is taking care of
wait_for_completion() by default. When wait_for_completion triggered
in kthread_stop and as it was done already, giving kernel panic.
Hence, removing redundant wait_for_completion() from rsi_kill_thread().
... skipping ...
