In message <Pine.LNX.4.44.0312302100550.1457-100000@bigblue.dev.mdolabs.com> you write: > Wouldn't it be better to put a kt_message inside a tast_struct? Expand task_struct for this one usage? I don't think that's worthwhile. The whole code is written so there is no datastructure associated with the kthread. When something like kt_message is needed (to kill a thread, for example), they grab the lock and use the static one. This means that threads can exit without having to do cleanup. Hope that clarifies, Rusty. -- Anyone who quotes me in their sig is an idiot. -- Rusty Russell. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
