Randy Dunlap9e37bd32006-06-25 05:49:19 -070013 * kthread_run - create and wake a thread.
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -070014 * @threadfn: the function to run until signal_pending(current).
15 * @data: data ptr for @threadfn.
16 * @namefmt: printf-style name for the thread.
17 *
18 * Description: Convenient wrapper for kthread_create() followed by
Randy Dunlap9e37bd32006-06-25 05:49:19 -070019 * wake_up_process(). Returns the kthread or ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM).
