Subject: [PATCH 5.10.y 1/2] ipmi:ssif: Fix a shutdown race
Date: Fri, 1 May 2026 09:54:26 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260501145427.900030-1-corey@minyard.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026050148-irregular-kite-7f24@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().

(cherry picked from commit 6bd0eb6d759b9a22c5509ea04e19c2e8407ba418)
