NAME¶
kthread_stop - stop a thread created by kthread_create.SYNOPSIS¶
int
kthread_stop(struct task_struct * k);
ARGUMENTS¶
kthread created by kthread_create.
DESCRIPTION¶
Sets kthread_should_stop for k to return true, wakes it, and waits for it to exit. This can also be called after kthread_create instead of calling wake_up_process: the thread will exit without calling threadfn. If threadfn may call do_exit itself, the caller must ensure task_struct can't go away. Returns the result of threadfn, or -EINTR if wake_up_process was never called.COPYRIGHT¶
