Subject: rcuperf: Do not wake up shutdown wait queue if "shutdown" is false.
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e6fb1fc1085e5b5155bc8f3d3385c48b8bdde95e;p=linux-beck.git

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.
