From b8b5dc6b9596a07cbeed03192b41a4befb75acc6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Marchand Date: Tue, 11 May 2021 13:33:57 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] net/ark: fix leak on thread termination A terminated pthread should be joined or detached so that its associated resources are released. The "ark-delay-pg" thread is just used to delay some task but it is never joined by the thread that created it. The easiest solution is to detach the new thread.
