From d16a8c31077e75ecb9427fbfea59b74eed00f698 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" Date: Wed, 6 May 2020 10:20:10 -0400 Subject: tracing: Wait for preempt irq delay thread to finish Running on a slower machine, it is possible that the preempt delay kernel thread may still be executing if the module was immediately removed after added, and this can cause the kernel to crash as the kernel thread might be executing after its code has been removed. There's no reason that the caller of the code shouldn't just wait for the delay thread to finish, as the thread can also be created by a trigger in the sysfs code, which also has the same issues.

The fix for this was to call kthread_stop() after creating the thread to make sure it finishes before allowing the module to be removed. Now this caused the opposite problem on fast machines. What now happens is the kthread_stop() can cause the kthread never to execute and the test never to run. To fix this, add a completion and wait for the kthread to execute, then wait for it to end. This issue caused the ftracetest selftests to fail on the preemptirq tests.
