[OpenAFS-devel] Kernel 2.4.0 Oops when afs is shutting down

[Derek Atkins]

Ok, I've just taken a closer look.

If you go to afs/afs_call.c around line 1164...  Move the
osi_StopListener() call to happen _AFTER_ the while loop.  In other
words, make the code look like this:

    while (afs_termState == AFSOP_STOP_RXK_LISTENER) 
	afs_osi_Sleep(&afs_termState);
    osi_StopListener(); /* This closes rx_socket. */

Let me know if this fixes your problem. :)
