NAME¶
kthread_bind - bind a just-created kthread to a cpu.
SYNOPSIS¶
void kthread_bind(struct task_struct * p, unsigned int cpu);
ARGUMENTS¶
p
thread created by kthread_create.
cpu
cpu (might not be online, must be possible) for k
to run on.
DESCRIPTION¶
This function is equivalent to set_cpus_allowed, except that cpu doesn´t need to be online, and the thread must be stopped (i.e., just returned from kthread_create).
Function lives here instead of kthread.c because it messes with scheduler internals which require locking.
