KTHREAD_SHOULD_PARK(9) Driver Basics KTHREAD_SHOULD_PARK(9)

NAME

kthread_should_park - should this kthread park now?

SYNOPSIS

bool kthread_should_park(void);

ARGUMENTS

void

no arguments

DESCRIPTION

When someone calls kthread_park on your kthread, it will be woken and this will return true. You should then do the necessary cleanup and call kthread_parkme

Similar to kthread_should_stop, but this keeps the thread alive and in a park position. kthread_unpark “restarts” the thread and calls the thread function again.
