the helper macro kthread_run_on_cpu() inculdes kthread_create_on_cpu/wake_up_process(). In some cases, use kthread_run_on_cpu() directly instead of kthread_create_on_node/kthread_bind/wake_up_process() or kthread_create_on_cpu/wake_up_process() or kthreadd_create/kthread_bind/wake_up_process() to simplify the code. v1->v2: *[1/6]Remove cpu_to_node from kthread_create_on_cpu params. *[1/6]Updated the macro description comment. *[4,5/6]Update changelog Cai Huoqing (6): kthread: Add the helper macro kthread_run_on_cpu() RDMA/siw: Make use of the helper macro kthread_run_on_cpu() ring-buffer: Make use of the helper macro kthread_run_on_cpu() rcutorture: Make use of the helper macro kthread_run_on_cpu() trace/osnoise: Make use of the helper macro kthread_run_on_cpu() trace/hwlat: Make use of the helper macro kthread_run_on_cpu() drivers/infiniband/sw/siw/siw_main.c | 7 +++---- include/linux/kthread.h | 21 +++++++++++++++++++++ kernel/rcu/rcutorture.c | 7 ++----- kernel/trace/ring_buffer.c | 7 ++----- kernel/trace/trace_hwlat.c | 6 +----- kernel/trace/trace_osnoise.c | 3 +-- 6 files changed, 31 insertions(+), 21 deletions(-) -- 2.25.1
