Subject: [PATCH] sched/wait: fix endless kthread loop at timeout
Scenario, possible since kernel 4.11.x and later:
1) kthread calls a waiting function with a timeout, and blocks.
2) kthread_stop() is called by somebody else.
3) kthread makes some progress, but neither finishes nor timeouts.
4) Nothing happens => normally the timeout would be reached by the kthread.
However, the condition in wait_woken() now prevents the call to
schedule_timeout().
As a consequence, the timeout value will never be decreased, resulting
in an endless loop.
This fix ensures the following semantics: kthread_should_stop() is treated
as equivalent to a timeout. This is beneficial because most users do not
want to wait for the timeout, but to stop the kthread as soon as possible.
It appears that this semantics was probably intended (otherwise the check
is_kthread_should_stop() would not make much sense), but just went wrong
due to the bug.
Here is an example, triggered by external kernel module MARS on a
production kernel. However, the problem can be also triggered by other
kthreads and on newer kernels, and also in very different scenarios,
not only during tcp_revcmsg().
In the following example, the kthread simply waits for network packets
to arrive, but in the test scenario the network had been blocked
underneath by a firewall rule in order to trigger the bug:
