Subject: [PATCH 4/5] cpufreq: schedutil: convert to kthread_create_worker
Date: Sat, 29 Aug 2026 16:00:01 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260829160001.6245-1-include@grrlz.net> (raw)
From: Bradley Morgan <brads@mainlining.org>
Embedding a kthread_worker and running kthread_worker_fn yourself is
the old way. Convert cpufreq_schedutil to kthread_create_worker(),
dropping the separate thread pointer.
This is part of removing the worker->task self-assignment in
kthread_worker_fn().
Signed-off-by: Bradley Morgan <brads@mainlining.org>
