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

Andrew Morton wrote:

Another driver which should be fully converted to the kthread API:
kthread_stop() and kthread_should_stop().

And according to my logs, this driver was added to the tree more than
a year _after_ the kthread interface was made available.

This isn't good.

Andrew,

Per my previous response, I'd prefer to have either Russ or Robin ack
the patch doesn't break before it's pushed to Linus.

I don't know much about the xpmem and I am not comfortable testing it.

Cheers,
Jes
