From 2a1d446019f9a5983ec5a335b95e8593fdb6fa2e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Mon, 16 Jul 2012 10:42:36 +0000 Subject: kthread: Implement park/unpark facility To avoid the full teardown/setup of per cpu kthreads in the case of cpu hot(un)plug, provide a facility which allows to put the kthread into a park position and unpark it when the cpu comes online again.

On registration the threads for already online cpus are created and started. On deregistration (modules) the threads are stoppped. During hotplug operations the threads are created, started, parked and unparked. The datastructure for registration provides a pointer to percpu storage space and optional setup, cleanup, park, unpark functions. These functions are called when the thread state changes. Each implementation has to provide a function which is queried and returns whether the thread should run and the thread function itself. The core code handles all state transitions and avoids duplicated code in the call sites. [ paulmck: Preemption leak fix ] Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Cc: Peter Zijlstra Reviewed-by: Srivatsa S.
