From 937fa62e8a00d0b4bc2c0a40567d7c88ab2b2e8d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mike Snitzer Date: Tue, 18 Oct 2016 14:02:04 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] dm rq: clear kworker_task if kthread_run() returned an error cleanup_mapped_device() calls kthread_stop() if kworker_task is non-NULL. Currently the assigned value could be a valid task struct or an error code (e.g -ENOMEM). Reset md->kworker_task to NULL if kthread_run() returned an erorr.
