Currently there is a circular reference between work queue initialization and kthread initialization. This prevents the kthread infrastructure from initializing until after work queues have been initialized. We want the properties of tasks created with kthread_create to be as close as possible to the init_task and to not be contaminated by user processes. The later we start our kthreadd that creates these tasks the harder it is to avoid contamination from user processes and the more of a mess we have to clean up because the defaults have changed on us. So this patch modifies the kthread support to not use work queues but to instead use a simple list of structures, and to have kthreadd start from init_task immediately after our kernel thread that execs /sbin/init. By being a true child of init_task we only have to change those process settings that we want to have different from init_task, such as our process name, the cpus that are allowed, blocking all signals and setting SIGCHLD to SIG_IGN so that all of our children are reaped automatically. By being a true child of init_task we also naturally get our ppid set to 0 and do not wind up as a child of PID == 1. Ensuring that tasks generated by kthread_create will not slow down the functioning of the wait family of functions. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: use interruptible sleeps] Signed-off-by: Eric W.
