From 4d1d61a6b203d957777d73fcebf19d90b038b5b2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Fri, 11 May 2012 10:59:08 +1000 Subject: genirq: reimplement exit_irq_thread() hook via task_work_add() exit_irq_thread() and task->irq_thread are needed to handle the unexpected (and unlikely) exit of irq-thread. We can use task_work instead and make this all private to kernel/irq/manage.c, cleanup plus micro-optimization. 1. rename exit_irq_thread() to irq_thread_dtor(), make it static, and move it up before irq_thread(). 2. change irq_thread() to do task_work_add(irq_thread_dtor) at the start and task_work_cancel() before return. tracehook_notify_resume() can never play with kthreads, only do_exit()->exit_task_work() can call the callback and this is what we want. 3. remove task_struct->irq_thread and the special hook in do_exit().
