From 35033fe9cbbf18415dfeb7e27f0d4228dfc7458a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Petr Mladek Date: Tue, 11 Oct 2016 13:55:33 -0700 Subject: kthread: add kthread_destroy_worker() The current kthread worker users call flush() and stop() explicitly. This function does the same plus it frees the kthread_worker struct in one call. It is supposed to be used together with kthread_create_worker*() that allocates struct kthread_worker.
