the helper function kthread_run_on_cpu() includes 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: *Remove cpu_to_node from kthread_create_on_cpu params. *Updated the macro description comment. v2->v3: *Convert this helper macro to static inline function *Fix typo in changelog *Update changelog v1 link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20211021120135.3003-2-caihuoqing@xxxxxxxxx/ v2 link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20211021122758.3092-2-caihuoqing@xxxxxxxxx/ Cai Huoqing (6): kthread: Add the helper function kthread_run_on_cpu() RDMA/siw: Make use of the helper function kthread_run_on_cpu() ring-buffer: Make use of the helper function kthread_run_on_cpu() rcutorture: Make use of the helper function kthread_run_on_cpu() trace/osnoise: Make use of the helper function kthread_run_on_cpu() trace/hwlat: Make use of the helper function kthread_run_on_cpu() drivers/infiniband/sw/siw/siw_main.c | 7 +++---- include/linux/kthread.h | 25 +++++++++++++++++++++++++ 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, 34 insertions(+), 21 deletions(-) -- 2.25.1
