[RFC PATCH 06/14] kthread: Add kthread_worker_created()

From: Petr Mladek <pmladek@suse.com>
Date: 2015-07-28 14:42:45
Also in: linux-mm, lkml
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

I would like to make cleaner kthread worker API and hide the definition
of struct kthread_worker. It will prevent any custom hacks and make
the API more secure.

This patch provides an API to check if the worker has been created
and hides the implementation details.
