Subject: io-wq: fix race around io_worker grabbing
X-Git-Tag: accepted/tizen/unified/20230118.172025~7709^2~5
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=eb2de9418d56b5e6ebf27bad51dbce3e22ee109b;p=platform%2Fkernel%2Flinux-rpi.git

io-wq: fix race around io_worker grabbing

There's a small window between lookup dropping the reference to the
worker and calling wake_up_process() on the worker task, where the worker
itself could have exited. We ensure that the worker struct itself is
valid, but worker->task may very well be gone by the time we issue the
wakeup.

Fix the race by using a completion triggered by the reference going to
zero, and having exit wait for that completion before proceeding.
