DESCRIPTION

16       When someone calls kthread_park on your kthread, it will be woken and
17       this will return true. You should then do the necessary cleanup and
18       call kthread_parkme
19
20       Similar to kthread_should_stop, but this keeps the thread alive and in
21       a park position.  kthread_unpark“restarts” the thread and calls the
22       thread function again.
