kthread_stop —
stop a thread created by kthread_create.
int kthread_stop ( | struct task_struct * k); |
Sets kthread_should_stop for k to return true, wakes it, and
waits for it to exit. This can also be called after kthread_create
instead of calling wake_up_process: the thread will exit without
calling threadfn.
If threadfn may call do_exit itself, the caller must ensure
task_struct can't go away.
Returns the result of threadfn, or -EINTR if wake_up_process
was never called.
