We have this weird true/false return from parking, and then some of the callers decide to look at that. It can lead to unbalanced parks and sqd locking. Have the callers check the thread status once it's parked. We know we have the lock at that point, so it's either valid or it's NULL. Fix race with parking on thread exit. We need to be careful here with ordering of the sdq->lock and the IO_SQ_THREAD_SHOULD_PARK bit. Rename sqd->completion to sqd->parked to reflect that this is the only thing this completion event doesn. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
