SubjectRe: please revert kthread from loop.c
Quoting Andrew Morton (akpm@osdl.org):

Ah.

wait_event() actually seems like the way to go - I'll try to follow the
example in fs/ocfs2/journal.c.

Still I'd also like to patch kthread to correctly handle an already
exited thread. Would that be acceptable, or is requiring the thread not
to exit prematurely considered desirable?

thanks,
