From b529544b0165e8b4bf2b6a9b32a7efa5eb4bdc99 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dan Williams Date: Wed, 10 Aug 2016 15:59:09 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] tools/testing/nvdimm: fix SIGTERM vs hotplug crash commit d8d378fa1a0c98ecb50ca52c9bf3bc14e25aa2d2 upstream. The unit tests crash when hotplug races the previous probe. This race requires that the loading of the nfit_test module be terminated with SIGTERM, and the module to be unloaded while the ars scan is still running. In contrast to the normal nfit driver, the unit test calls acpi_nfit_init() twice to simulate hotplug, whereas the nominal case goes through the acpi_nfit_notify() event handler. The acpi_nfit_notify() path is careful to flush the previous region registration before servicing the hotplug event. The unit test was missing this guarantee.
