From: Mike Isely Date: Wed, 6 Feb 2008 07:24:51 +0000 (-0300) Subject: V4L/DVB (7687): pvrusb2: Fix oops in pvrusb2-dvb X-Git-Url: http://drtracing.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ceb4340deb9bf5f8371d47ef906a83e6784345b0;p=deliverable%2Flinux.git V4L/DVB (7687): pvrusb2: Fix oops in pvrusb2-dvb The pvrusb2-dvb feed thread cannot be allowed to exit by itself without first waiting for kthread_should_stop() to return true. Otherwise the driver will have a dangling task_struct context, which will cause a very nasty kernel oops.
