+/*
+ * Thread with file: Run a kthread and connect it to a file descriptor, so that
+ * it can be interacted with via fd read/write methods and closing the file
+ * descriptor stops the kthread.
+ *
+ * We have two different APIs:
+ *
+ * thread_with_file, the low level version.
+ * You get to define the full file_operations, including your release function,
+ * which means that you must call bch2_thread_with_file_exit() from your
+ * .release method
+ *
+ * thread_with_stdio, the higher level version
+ * This implements full piping of input and output, including .poll.
+ *
+ * Notes on behaviour:
+ *  - kthread shutdown behaves like writing or reading from a pipe that has been
+ *    closed
+ *  - Input and output buffers are 4096 bytes, although buffers may in some
+ *    situations slightly exceed that limit so as to avoid chopping off a
+ *    message in the middle in nonblocking mode.
+ *  - Input/output buffers are lazily allocated, with GFP_NOWAIT allocations -
+ *    should be fine but might change in future revisions.
+ *  - Output buffer may grow past 4096 bytes to deal with messages that are
+ *    bigger than 4096 bytes
+ *  - Writing may be done blocking or nonblocking; in nonblocking mode, we only
+ *    drop entire messages.
+ *
+ * To write, use stdio_redirect_printf()
+ * To read, use stdio_redirect_read() or stdio_redirect_readline()
