[patch 090/102] kthread: allow to call __kthread_create_on_node() with va_list args

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Petr Mladek <pmladek@xxxxxxxx>
Subject: kthread: allow to call __kthread_create_on_node() with va_list args

kthread_create_on_node() implements a bunch of logic to create the
kthread.  It is already called by kthread_create_on_cpu().

We are going to extend the kthread worker API and will need to call
kthread_create_on_node() with va_list args there.

This patch does only a refactoring and does not modify the existing
behavior.
