I realise that the bug existed before your change, but calling svc_exit_thread at this point is not good. The 'goto out_thread' is *before* "pool->sp_nrthreads++", but svc_exit_thread does "pool->sp_nrthreads--;". Not good. As you are playing is this code, do you feel like fixing that error path?? Otherwise, patch looks good.
