KTHREAD_PARK(9)                           Driver Basics                           KTHREAD_PARK(9)



NAME
       kthread_park - park a thread created by kthread_create.

SYNOPSIS
       int kthread_park(struct task_struct * k);

ARGUMENTS
       k
           thread created by kthread_create.

DESCRIPTION
       Sets kthread_should_park for k to return true, wakes it, and waits for it to return. This
       can also be called after kthread_create instead of calling wake_up_process: the thread
       will park without calling threadfn.

       Returns 0 if the thread is parked, -ENOSYS if the thread exited. If called by the kthread
       itself just the park bit is set.
