KTHREAD_STOP(9) Driver Basics KTHREAD_STOP(9)NAMEkthread_stop - stop a thread created by kthread_create.SYNOPSISint kthread_stop(struct task_struct * k);ARGUMENTSk thread created by kthread_create.DESCRIPTIONSets kthread_should_stop for k to return true, wakes it, and waits for it to exit. This can also be called after kthread_create instead of calling wake_up_process: the thread will exit without calling threadfn. If threadfn may call do_exit itself, the caller must ensure task_struct can't go away. Returns the result of threadfn, or -EINTR if wake_up_process was never called.COPYRIGHTKernel Hackers Manual 2.6. July 2010 KTHREAD_STOP(9)
