[PATCH] rcu: Avoid kthread_stop on invalid pointer if rcutorture reader startup fails
rcu_torture_init kmallocs the array of reader threads, then creates each one with kthread_run, cleaning up with rcu_torture_cleanup if this fails. rcu_torture_cleanup calls kthread_stop on any non-NULL pointer in the array; however, any readers after the one that failed to start up will have invalid pointers, not null pointers. Avoid this by using kzalloc instead. Signed-off-by: Josh Triplett <josh@freedesktop.org> Acked-by: Paul E.
