Subject: [PATCH 6.6.y 1/2] ipmi:ssif: Fix a shutdown race
Date: Fri,  1 May 2026 09:06:57 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260501140658.707484-1-corey@minyard.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026050147-kinfolk-perennial-0e04@gregkh>

It was possible for the SSIF thread to stop and quit before the
kthread_stop() call because ssif->stopping was set before the
stop.  So only exit the SSIF thread is kthread_should_stop()
returns true.

There is no need to wake the thread, as the wait will be interrupted
by kthread_stop().

Signed-off-by: Corey Minyard <cminyard@mvista.com>
(cherry picked from commit 6bd0eb6d759b9a22c5509ea04e19c2e8407ba418)
