Subject[PATCH] rapidio/tsi721: use tasklet_kill in device remove/release process
Date
Some driver uses tasklet_disable in device remove/release process,
tasklet_disable will inc tasklet->count and return. If the tasklet
is not handled yet under some softirq pressure, the tasklet will be
placed on the tasklet_vec, never have a chance to be excuted. This might
lead to a heavy loaded ksoftirqd, wakeup with pending_softirq, but
tasklet is disabled. tasklet_kill should be used in this case.
