Subject: acpi_os_queue_for_execution()
Date: Mon, 23 Dec 2002 19:17:48 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20021223181747.GA10363@elf.ucw.cz> (raw)

Hi!

Acpi seems to create short-lived kernel threads, and I don't quite
understand why. 

In thermal.c


                        tz->timer.data = (unsigned long) tz;
                        tz->timer.function = acpi_thermal_run;
                        tz->timer.expires = jiffies + (HZ * sleep_time) / 1000;
                        add_timer(&(tz->timer));

and acpi_thermal_run creates kernel therad that runs
acpi_thermal_check. Why is not acpi_thermal_check called directly? I
don't like idea of thread being created every time thermal zone needs
to be polled...
