Yields
if (ksmd_should_run()) {
schedule_timeout_interruptible(
msecs_to_jiffies(ksm_thread_sleep_millisecs));
} else {
wait_event_interruptible(ksm_thread_wait,
ksmd_should_run() || kthread_should_stop());
}
can it be something like
wait_event_interruptible_timeout(ksm_thread_wait,
ksmd_should_run() || kthread_should_stop(),
msecs_to_jiffies(ksm_thread_sleep_millisecs));
?
That would also reduce the latency in responding to kthread_should_stop().
