[PATCH 3.12 09/33] net: pktgen: fix race between pktgen_thread_worker() and kthread_stop()

From: Jiri Slaby
Date: Tue Sep 15 2015 - 10:22:45 EST


From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx>

3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

[ Upstream commit fecdf8be2d91e04b0a9a4f79ff06499a36f5d14f ]

pktgen_thread_worker() is obviously racy, kthread_stop() can come
between the kthread_should_stop() check and set_current_state().
