From 10442994ba195efef6fdcc0c3699e4633cb5161b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jens Axboe Date: Fri, 26 Mar 2021 08:57:10 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] kernel: don't call do_exit() for PF_IO_WORKER threads Right now we're never calling get_signal() from PF_IO_WORKER threads, but in preparation for doing so, don't handle a fatal signal for them. The workers have state they need to cleanup when exiting, so just return instead of calling do_exit() on their behalf. The threads themselves will detect a fatal signal and do proper shutdown.
