A kernel hang can be observed when running setserial in a loop on a kernel
with force threaded interrupts. The sequence of events is:
setserial
open("/dev/ttyXXX")
request_irq()
do_stuff()
-> serial interrupt
-> wake(irq_thread)
desc->threads_active++;
close()
free_irq()
kthread_stop(irq_thread)
synchronize_irq() <- hangs because desc->threads_active != 0
The thread is created in request_irq() and woken up, but does not get on a
CPU to reach the actual thread function, which would handle the pending
wake-up. kthread_stop() sets the should stop condition which makes the
thread immediately exit, which in turn leaves the stale threads_active
count around.
