      sched/wait: Fix a kthread race with wait_woken() · cb6538e7
      Peter Zijlstra authored
      There is a race between kthread_stop() and the new wait_woken() that
      can result in a lack of progress.
      
      CPU 0                                    | CPU 1
                                               |
      rfcomm_run()                             | kthread_stop()
        ...                                    |
        if (!test_bit(KTHREAD_SHOULD_STOP))    |
                                               |   set_bit(KTHREAD_SHOULD_STOP)
                                               |   wake_up_process()
          wait_woken()                         |   wait_for_completion()
            set_current_state(INTERRUPTIBLE)   |
            if (!WQ_FLAG_WOKEN)                |
              schedule_timeout()               |
                                               |
      
      After which both tasks will wait.. forever.
      
      Fix this by having wait_woken() check for kthread_should_stop() but
      only for kthreads (obviously).

      Pull ARM SoC fixes from Olof Johansson:
       "Another week, another small batch of fixes.
      
        Most of these make zynq, socfpga and sunxi platforms work a bit
        better:
      
         - due to new requirements for regulators, DWMMC on socfpga broke past
           v3.17
         - SMP spinup fix for socfpga
         - a few DT fixes for zynq
         - another option (FIXED_REGULATOR) for sunxi is needed that used to
           be selected by other options but no longer is.
         - a couple of small DT fixes for at91
         - ...and a couple for i.MX"
