Hi, I have one problem about this: after the srvTcp->tsk is set to NULL (maybe the thread is still there, isn't it?), is the kthread still needed to be stopped by calling kthread_stop()? If it is true, then the task_struct should be saved before send_sig like my patch:
if (srvTcp->tsk) { + struct task_struct * tsk = srvTcp->tsk; send_sig(SIGKILL,srvTcp->tsk,1); - kthread_stop(srvTcp->tsk); + kthread_stop(tsk); Regards dave - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
