genirq: Fix race condition when stopping the irq thread
In irq_wait_for_interrupt(), the should_stop member is verified before
setting the task's state to TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE and calling schedule().
In case kthread_stop sets should_stop and wakes up the process after
should_stop is checked by the irq thread but before the task's state
is changed, the irq thread might never exit:
kthread_stop irq_wait_for_interrupt
------------ ----------------------
...
... while (!kthread_should_stop()) {
kthread->should_stop = 1;
wake_up_process(k);
wait_for_completion(&kthread->exited);
...
set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE);
...
schedule();
}
Fix this by checking if the thread should stop after modifying the
task's state.
