Subject: genirq: No need to check IRQTF_DIED before stopping a thread handler
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=05d74efa3c72a5c40b0edeb15856c0230126313b;p=linux-beck.git

genirq: No need to check IRQTF_DIED before stopping a thread handler

Since 63706172f332fd3f6e7458ebfb35fa6de9c21dc5 kthread_stop() is not
afraid of dead kernel threads. So no need to check if a thread is
alive before stopping it. These checks still were racy.
