From 175c0dffef310fc7d7f026ca4a7682beb2fbd8ec Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Xiaotian Feng Date: Wed, 31 Oct 2012 00:29:57 +0000 Subject: drivers/net: use tasklet_kill in device remove/close process Some driver uses tasklet_disable in device remove/close process, tasklet_disable will inc tasklet->count and return. If the tasklet is not handled yet because some softirq pressure, the tasklet will placed on the tasklet_vec, never have a chance to excute. This might lead to ksoftirqd heavy loaded, wakeup with pending_softirq, but tasklet is disabled. tasklet_kill should be used in this case. Signed-off-by: Xiaotian Feng Cc: "David S.
