From 54e6842d0775ba76db65cbe21311c3ca466e663d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mike Christie Date: Fri, 10 Mar 2023 16:03:26 -0600 Subject: fork/vm: Move common PF_IO_WORKER behavior to new flag This adds a new flag, PF_USER_WORKER, that's used for behavior common to to both PF_IO_WORKER and users like vhost which will use a new helper instead of create_io_thread because they require different behavior for operations like signal handling. The common behavior PF_USER_WORKER covers is the vm reclaim handling. Signed-off-by: Mike Christie Acked-by: Michael S.
