This patch, or the previous version I sent? The previous one had this
issue, so this one takes some care to kill the waker and I haven't seen
it since:
/* Make sure waker is not blocked in BREAK */
u32 args[] = { LHREQ_BREAK, 0 };
close(waker_fd);
write(fd, args, sizeof(args));
exit(2);
Thanks,
Rusty.
