From 1c99315bb36b5d776210546d438ca928dc9b1f22 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Thu, 9 Apr 2009 09:50:36 -0600 Subject: kthread: move sched-realeted initialization from kthreadd context kthreadd is the single thread which implements ths "create" request, move sched_setscheduler/etc from create_kthread() to kthread_create() to improve the scalability. We should be careful with sched_setscheduler(), use _nochek helper. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov Cc: Christoph Hellwig Cc: "Eric W.
