    Subject[v2.6.34-stable 41/77] genirq: Fix race condition when stopping the irq thread
    Date
    From: Ido Yariv <ido@wizery.com>

    -------------------
    This is a commit scheduled for the next v2.6.34 longterm release.
    http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/paulg/longterm-queue-2.6.34.git
    If you see a problem with using this for longterm, please comment.
    -------------------

    commit 550acb19269d65f32e9ac4ddb26c2b2070e37f1c upstream.

    In irq_wait_for_interrupt(), the should_stop member is verified before
    setting the task's state to TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE and calling schedule().
    In case kthread_stop sets should_stop and wakes up the process after
    should_stop is checked by the irq thread but before the task's state
    is changed, the irq thread might never exit:

    kthread_stop irq_wait_for_interrupt
    ------------ ----------------------

    ...
    ... while (!kthread_should_stop()) {
    kthread->should_stop = 1;
    wake_up_process(k);
    wait_for_completion(&kthread->exited);
    ...
    set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE);

    ...

    schedule();
    }

    Fix this by checking if the thread should stop after modifying the
    task's state.

    [ tglx: Simplified it a bit ]
