Subject: kernel_thread() usage found in staging
Date: Fri, 13 Mar 2009 16:26:27 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <804dabb00903130126m79272087xd2fd452e2712abac@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

>From Documentation/feature_removal_schedule.txt, it is well-known that
kernel_thread() API usage is discouraged, but in staging we still
routinely see its use.   Perhaps the original driver owner have
overlooked this?

Thanks.

./rt2870/common/2870_rtmp_init.c:
	pid_number = kernel_thread(MlmeThread, pAd, CLONE_VM);
	pid_number = kernel_thread(RTUSBCmdThread, pAd, CLONE_VM);
	pid_number = kernel_thread(TimerQThread, pAd, CLONE_VM);

./usbip/usbip_common.c:
	retval = kernel_thread(usbip_thread, (void *)&ud->tcp_rx, 0);
	retval = kernel_thread(usbip_thread, (void *)&ud->tcp_tx, 0);

./usbip/usbip_event.c:
	kernel_thread(usbip_thread, (void *)eh, 0);

./epl/ShbIpc-LinuxKernel.c:

./epl/EplSdoUdpu.c:
	    kernel_thread(EplSdoUdpThread, &SdoUdpInstance_g, CLONE_KERNEL);
