[PATCH] fs/afs: Convert to kthread API.

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

 



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

This patch modifies the startup of kafscmd, kafsasyncd, and kafstimod
to use kthread_run instead of a combination of kernel_thread and
daemonize making the code slightly simpler and more maintainable.

In addition since by default all signals are ignored when delivered
to a kernel thread the code to flush signals has been removed.
