From 3b4c7d640376dbccfe80fc4f7b8772ecc7de28c5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sukadev Bhattiprolu Date: Mon, 14 Aug 2006 23:12:03 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] kthread: airo.c The airo driver is currently caching a pid for later use, but with the implementation of containers, pids themselves do not uniquely identify a task. The driver is also using kernel_thread() which is deprecated in drivers. This patch essentially replaces the kernel_thread() with kthread_create(). It also stores the task_struct of the airo_thread rather than its pid. Since this introduces a second task_struct in struct airo_info, the patch renames airo_info.task to airo_info.list_bss_task. As an extension of these changes, the patch further: - replaces kill_proc() with kthread_stop() - replaces signal_pending() with kthread_should_stop() - removes thread completion synchronisation which is handled by kthread_stop().
