Subject: [PATCH] kthread: export park/unpark facility
Date: Wed, 8 Jul 2015 17:40:20 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150709004020.GA21087@hpl.hp.com> (raw)

	Hi,

	The kthread park/unpark facility is not used in the kernel, so
one would assume that it's made for kernel modules. This patch should
definitely help most modules.
	Patch untested, at your own risks...
	Regards,

	Jean
