From: Julian Wiedmann jwi@linux.vnet.ibm.com
[ Upstream commit 1063e432bb45be209427ed3f1ca3908e4aa3c7d7 ]
qeth_wait_for_threads() is potentially called by multiple users, make sure to notify all of them after qeth_clear_thread_running_bit() adjusted the thread_running_mask. With no timeout, callers would otherwise stall.
