KTHREAD_WORKER_FN(9)                      Driver Basics                      KTHREAD_WORKER_FN(9)



NAME
       kthread_worker_fn - kthread function to process kthread_worker

SYNOPSIS
       int kthread_worker_fn(void * worker_ptr);

ARGUMENTS
       worker_ptr
           pointer to initialized kthread_worker

DESCRIPTION
       This function can be used as threadfn to kthread_create or kthread_run with worker_ptr
       argument pointing to an initialized kthread_worker. The started kthread will process
       work_list until the it is stopped with kthread_stop. A kthread can also call this function
       directly after extra initialization.

       Different kthreads can be used for the same kthread_worker as long as there's only one
       kthread attached to it at any given time. A kthread_worker without an attached kthread
       simply collects queued kthread_works.
