From 1fbe4b46caca5b01b070af93d513031ffbcc480c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Wed, 8 Jul 2015 21:42:13 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] net: pktgen: kill the "Wait for kthread_stop" code in pktgen_thread_worker() pktgen_thread_worker() doesn't need to wait for kthread_stop(), it can simply exit. Just pktgen_create_thread() and pg_net_exit() should do get_task_struct()/put_task_struct(). kthread_stop(dead_thread) is fine. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov Signed-off-by: David S.
