Subject: xfs_repair: clear pthread_t when pthread_create fails
Patch-mainline: Submitted, 16 Jan 2017
References: bsc#1019938
pf_queuing_worker and pf_create_prefetch_thread both try to handle
thread creation failure gracefully, but assume that pthread_create
doesn't modify the pthread_t when it fails.
>From the pthread_create man page:
On success, pthread_create() returns 0; on error, it returns an error
number, and the contents of *thread are undefined.
In fact, glibc's pthread_create writes the pthread_t value before
calling clone(). When we join the created threads in
cleanup_inode_prefetch and the cleanup stage of pf_queuing_worker, we
assume that if the pthread_t is nonzero that it's a valid thread handle
and end up crashing in pthread_join.
This patch zeros out the handle after pthread_create failure.
