10                                                   kthread_create_on_node(int (*threadfn) (void *data),
11                                                   void * data, int node,

ARGUMENTS

15       threadfn
16           the function to run until signal_pending(current).
17
18       data
19           data ptr for threadfn.
20
21       node
22           memory node number.
23
24       namefmt[]
25           printf-style format string for the thread.

DESCRIPTION

31       This helper function creates and names a kernel thread. The thread will
32       be stopped: use wake_up_process to start it. See also kthread_run,
33       kthread_create_on_cpu.
34
35       If thread is going to be bound on a particular cpu, give its node in
36       node, to get NUMA affinity for kthread stack, or else give -1. When
37       woken, the thread will run threadfn() with data as its argument.
38       threadfn() can either call do_exit directly if it is a standalone
39       thread for which noone will call kthread_stop, or return when
40       ´kthread_should_stop´ is true (which means kthread_stop has been
41       called). The return value should be zero or a negative error number; it
42       will be passed to kthread_stop.
43
44       Returns a task_struct or ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM).
