From 8bdd1d1250d55afe403ac4affa6ccc5f9e60468f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Serge E. Hallyn" Date: Sun, 25 Jun 2006 05:49:08 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] kthread: convert stop_machine into a kthread - Update stop_machine.c to spawn stop_machine as kthreads rather than the deprecated kernel_threads. - Update stop_machine to use the more efficient kthread_bind() before running task in place of set_cpus_allowed() after.
