Subject: [PATCH] staging: rtl8712: remove r8712_cmd_thread()->daemonize()
Date: Tue, 16 Aug 2011 20:50:57 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110816185057.GA4036@redhat.com> (raw)
daemonize() is only needed when a user-space task does kernel_thread().
r8712_cmd_thread() is kthread_create()'ed and thus it doesn't need
the soon-to-be-deprecated daemonize(). It is the only caller of
thread_enter() which actually does the call.
Note:
- we are going to remove the sigdelset(blocked) code from
allow_signal(), this means that without this patch
thread_enter() can't work after that. Not to mention
daemonize() should be deprecated.
- as a side effect, this patch changes ->comm. Hopefully
this is fine, and padapter->pnetdev->name probably makes
more sense anyway.
