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.
This driver is a really twisted maze. It has a lot of threads,
some of them running through the whole lifetime of the driver,
some short-lived and some in a sort of a pool.
The patch below fixes up the long-lived thread as well as fixing
gazillions of leaks in the init routine by switching to proper
goto-based unwinding.
Note that thread pools are something we have in a few places,
and might be worth handling in the core kthread infrastructure,
as tearing down pools will get a bit complicated using the
kthread APIs.
Like with the previous patch from Eric, I'm CC'ing the correct people
for this patch (forwarded it in a seperate email). CC'ing irrelevant
lists such as containers@ and not linux-ia64@ makes it somewhat
difficult to get proper reviews of these things.
Russ/Dean/Robin - could one of you provide some feedback to this one
please.
Thanks,
Jes
