Subject: IB/fmr_pool: Stop ib_fmr threads from contributing to load average
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.24-rc2~71^2
X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3f776e8a25a9d281125490562e1cc5bd7c14cf7c;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git

IB/fmr_pool: Stop ib_fmr threads from contributing to load average

I noticed my machine was at a constant load average of 1. This was
because ib_create_fmr_pool calls kthread_create but does not
immediately wake the thread up.

Change to using kthread_run so we enter ib_fmr_cleanup_thread(), set
TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE, then go to sleep.
