kthread: Add the helper function kthread_run_on_cpu()
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
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.

/**
* kthread_run_on_cpu - create and wake a cpu bound thread.
* @threadfn: the function to run until signal_pending(current).
* @data: data ptr for @threadfn.
* @cpu: The cpu on which the thread should be bound,
* @namefmt: printf-style name for the thread. Format is restricted
* to "name.*%u". Code fills in cpu number.
*
* Description: Convenient wrapper for kthread_create_on_cpu()
* followed by wake_up_process(). Returns the kthread or
* ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM).
