NAME

6       kthread_worker_fn - kthread function to process kthread_worker
7

SYNOPSIS

9       int kthread_worker_fn(void * worker_ptr);
10

ARGUMENTS

12       worker_ptr
13           pointer to initialized kthread_worker
14

DESCRIPTION

16       This function can be used as threadfn to kthread_create or kthread_run
17       with worker_ptr argument pointing to an initialized kthread_worker. The
18       started kthread will process work_list until the it is stopped with
19       kthread_stop. A kthread can also call this function directly after
20       extra initialization.
21
22       Different kthreads can be used for the same kthread_worker as long as
23       there's only one kthread attached to it at any given time. A
24       kthread_worker without an attached kthread simply collects queued
25       kthread_works.
