[PATCH] ia64 sn xpc: Convert to use kthread API.

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

 



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

This patch starts the xpc kernel threads using kthread_run
not a combination of kernel_thread and daemonize.  Resuling
in slightly simpler and more maintainable code.
