Note that this also stands against a full kthread conversion. Marcel put my old patches for a full kthread conversion in, but they didn't deal properly with some of the premaure exit cases, and causes OOPSes. I don't remember what the problems where, but the case of a thread terminating earlier and possibly asynchronously is one of the cases we'll probably have to add to the kthread infrastructure before all uses of kernel_thread in drivers can be converted. - 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/
