      iio: adc: ina2xx: avoid kthread_stop() with stale task_struct · 7d6cd21d
      Akinobu Mita authored
      When the buffer is enabled for ina2xx driver, a dedicated kthread is
      invoked to capture mesurement data.  When the buffer is disabled, the
      kthread is stopped.
      
      However if the kthread gets register access errors, it immediately exits
      and when the malfunctional buffer is disabled, the stale task_struct
      pointer is accessed as there is no kthread to be stopped.
      
      A similar issue in the usbip driver is prevented by kthread_get_run and
      kthread_stop_put helpers by increasing usage count of the task_struct.
      This change applies the same solution.
