From e6fb1fc1085e5b5155bc8f3d3385c48b8bdde95e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Artem Savkov Date: Sun, 7 Feb 2016 13:31:39 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] rcuperf: Do not wake up shutdown wait queue if "shutdown" is false. After finishing its tests rcuperf tries to wake up shutdown_wq even if "shutdown" param is set to false, resulting in a wake_up() call on an unitialized wait_queue_head_t which leads to "BUG: spinlock bad magic" and "BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference". Fix by checking "shutdown" param before waking up the queue.
