Subject[PATCH 08/18] drbd: fix a race stopping the worker thread
Date
From: Lars Ellenberg <lars.ellenberg@linbit.com>

We may implicitly call drbd_send() from inside wait_for_work(),
via maybe_send_barrier().

If the "stop" signal was send just before that, drbd_send() would call
flush_signals(), and we would run an unbounded schedule() afterwards.

Fix: check for thread_state == RUNNING before we schedule()
