kunit: Fix race condition in try-catch completion
KUnit's try-catch infrastructure now uses vfork_done, which is always set to a valid completion when a kthread is created, but which is set to NULL once the thread terminates. This creates a race condition, where the kthread exits before we can wait on it. Keep a copy of vfork_done, which is taken before we wake_up_process() and so valid, and wait on that instead. Fixes: 93533996100c ("kunit: Handle test faults") Reported-by: Linux Kernel Functional Testing <lkft@linaro.org> Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240410102710.35911-1-naresh.kamboju@linaro.org/ Tested-by: Linux Kernel Functional Testing <lkft@linaro.org> Acked-by: Mickaël Salaün <mic@digikod.net> Signed-off-by: David Gow <davidgow@google.com> Reviewed-by: Rae Moar <rmoar@google.com> Tested-by: Miguel Ojeda <ojeda@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Shuah Khan <skhan@linuxfoundation.org>
