From 7db3111043885c146e795c199d39c3f9042d97c0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michal Schmidt Date: Thu, 19 Oct 2023 09:13:46 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] iavf: initialize waitqueues before starting watchdog_task It is not safe to initialize the waitqueues after queueing the watchdog_task. It will be using them. The chance of this causing a real problem is very small, because there will be some sleeping before any of the waitqueues get used. I got a crash only after inserting an artificial sleep in iavf_probe. Queue the watchdog_task as the last step in iavf_probe. Add a comment to prevent repeating the mistake.
