Subject: [PATCH 3/5] genirq: No need to check IRQTF_DIED before stopping a thread handler
Date: Mon, 20 Feb 2012 18:31:29 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120220173129.GC9313@dhcp-26-207.brq.redhat.com> (raw)
Since 63706172f332fd3f6e7458ebfb35fa6de9c21dc5 kthread_stop() is not
afraid of dead kernel threads. So no need to check if a thread is
alive before stopping it. These checks still were racy.
