[RFC patch 2/5] smpboot: Provide infrastructure for percpu hotplug threads

Thomas Gleixner

[-- Attachment #1: smpboot-percpu-thread-infrastructure.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 9066 bytes --]

Provide a generic interface for setting up and tearing down percpu
threads.

On registration the threads for already online cpus are created and
started. On deregistration (modules) the threads are stoppped.

During hotplug operations the threads are created, started, parked and
unparked. The datastructure for registration provides a pointer to
percpu storage space and optional setup, cleanup, park, unpark
functions. These functions are called when the thread state changes.

Thread functions should look like the following:

int thread_fn(void *cookie)
{
while (!smpboot_thread_check_parking(cookie)) {
do_stuff();
}
return 0;
}
