[PATCH] ibmphp: Convert to use the kthreads API

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

 



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

kthread_run replaces kernel_thread and dameonize.

allow_signal is unnecessary and has been removed.
tid_poll was unused and has been removed.
