Zhihao Cheng da3bb6fa23 ubi: check kthread_should_stop() after the setting of task state
commit d005f8c6588efcfbe88099b6edafc6f58c84a9c1 upstream.

A detach hung is possible when a race occurs between the detach process
and the ubi background thread. The following sequences outline the race:

  ubi thread: if (list_empty(&ubi->works)...

  ubi detach: set_bit(KTHREAD_SHOULD_STOP, &kthread->flags)
              => by kthread_stop()
              wake_up_process()
              => ubi thread is still running, so 0 is returned

  ubi thread: set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE)
              schedule()
              => ubi thread will never be scheduled again

  ubi detach: wait_for_completion()
              => hung task!

To fix that, we need to check kthread_should_stop() after we set the
task state, so the ubi thread will either see the stop bit and exit or
the task state is reset to runnable such that it isn't scheduled out
indefinitely.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
