How abt a patch like below? --- process.c.org 2007-02-16 13:38:39.000000000 +0530 +++ process.c 2007-02-16 13:38:59.000000000 +0530 @@ -47,7 +47,7 @@ void refrigerator(void) recalc_sigpending(); /* We sent fake signal, clean it up */ spin_unlock_irq(¤t->sighand->siglock); - while (frozen(current)) { + while (frozen(current) && !kthread_should_stop()) { current->state = TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE; schedule(); } This should let us do kthread_stop() in CPU_DEAD itself (while processes are frozen)? That would allow us to do everything from CPU_DEAD itself (and not have CPU_DEAD_KILL_THREADS). -- Regards, vatsa - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
