Hm, mm_release() clears ->vfork_done before complete(). mm_release: struct completion *vfork_done = tsk->vfork_done; if (vfork_done) { tsk->vfork_done = NULL; complete(vfork_done); } kthread_stop: set_tsk_thread_flag(tsk, TIF_KTHREAD_STOP); signal_wake_up(tsk, 1); // tsk exits, sets ->vfork_done == NULL wait_for_completion(tsk->vfork_done); Probably Rafael worried about this, but I misunderstood him...
