From 05d74efa3c72a5c40b0edeb15856c0230126313b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Gordeev Date: Fri, 9 Mar 2012 14:59:40 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] genirq: No need to check IRQTF_DIED before stopping a thread handler 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.
