From: Alan Stern Date: Mon, 24 Oct 2005 02:43:36 +0000 (-0700) Subject: [PATCH] PATCH: usb-storage: use kthread API X-Git-Tag: v2.6.15-rc1~731^2~16^2~1^2~14 X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3f13e66e219238e025ff561d69826da9342c3f4a;p=linux-2.6 [PATCH] PATCH: usb-storage: use kthread API This patch is originally from Alan Stern (as569). It has been rediffed against a current tree. This patch converts usb-storage to use the kthread API for creating its control and scanning threads. The new code doesn't use kthread_stop because the threads need (or will need in the future) to exit asynchronously.
