[PATCH] nfsv4 delegation: Convert to kthread API

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Eric W. Biederman <[email protected]>

To start the nfsv4-delegreturn thread this patch uses
kthread_run instead of a combination of kernel_thread
and daemonize.

In addition allow_signal(SIGKILL) is removed from
the expire delegations thread.
