iscsi-target: Always wait for kthread_should_stop() before kthread exit
There are three timing problems in the kthread usages of iscsi_target_mod: - np_thread of struct iscsi_np - rx_thread and tx_thread of struct iscsi_conn In iscsit_close_connection(), it calls send_sig(SIGINT, conn->tx_thread, 1); kthread_stop(conn->tx_thread); In conn->tx_thread, which is iscsi_target_tx_thread(), when it receive SIGINT the kthread will exit without checking the return value of kthread_should_stop(). So if iscsi_target_tx_thread() exit right between send_sig(SIGINT...) and kthread_stop(...), the kthread_stop() will try to stop an already stopped kthread. This is invalid according to the documentation of kthread_stop().
