Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/eeh: remove eeh_event_handler()->daemonize()
Date: Tue, 16 Aug 2011 21:08:58 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110816190858.GA4890@redhat.com> (raw)

daemonize() is only needed when a user-space task does kernel_thread().

eeh_event_handler() thread is created by the worker kthread, and thus
it doesn't need the soon-to-be-deprecated daemonize().

Note: looks like eeh_event_wq can be static and it can do all work
itself without kernel_thread().
