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 name 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
34       If thread is going to be bound on a particular cpu, give its node in
35       node, to get NUMA affinity for kthread stack, or else give -1. When
36       woken, the thread will run threadfn() with data as its argument.
37       threadfn() can either call do_exit directly if it is a standalone
38       thread for which no one will call kthread_stop, or return when
39       'kthread_should_stop' is true (which means kthread_stop has been
40       called). The return value should be zero or a negative error number; it
41       will be passed to kthread_stop.
42
43       Returns a task_struct or ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM).
