      genirq: prevent wakeup of freed irq thread · 2d860ad7
      Linus Torvalds authored
      free_irq() can remove an irqaction while the corresponding interrupt
      is in progress, but free_irq() sets action->thread to NULL
      unconditionally, which might lead to a NULL pointer dereference in
      handle_IRQ_event() when the hard interrupt context tries to wake up
      the handler thread.
      
      Prevent this by moving the thread stop after synchronize_irq(). No
      need to set action->thread to NULL either as action is going to be
      freed anyway.
      
      This fixes a boot crash reported against preempt-rt which uses the
      mainline irq threads code to implement full irq threading.
