[PATCH] kthread: convert stop_machine into a kthread
- Update stop_machine.c to spawn stop_machine as kthreads rather than the deprecated kernel_threads. - Update stop_machine to use the more efficient kthread_bind() before running task in place of set_cpus_allowed() after. [akpm@osdl.org: remove now-wrong set_cpus_allowed()] Signed-off-by: Serge E. Hallyn <serue@us.ibm.com> Cc: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
