Re: [PATCH v2] Bluetooth: bnep: Fix deadlock in session deletion

Hi Peter,

* Peter Hurley [off-list ref] [2011-08-05 10:41:35 -0400]:

Commit f4d7cd4a4c introduced the usage of kthread API.
kthread_stop is a blocking function which returns only when
the thread exits. In this case, the thread can't exit because it's
waiting for the write lock, which is being held by bnep_del_connection()
which is waiting for the thread to exit -- deadlock.

Use atomic_t/wake_up_process instead to signal to the thread to exit.
