Convert io_uring and io-wq to use kernel_worker.I don't like the kernel_worker name, that implies it's always giving you a kernel thread or kthread. That's not the io_uring use case, it's really just a thread off the original task that just happens to never exit to userspace. Can we do a better name? At least io_thread doesn't imply that.Yeah, I had thought about that as well and at first had kernel_uworker() locally but wasn't convinced. Maybe we should just make it create_user_worker()?
That's better, or maybe even create_user_inkernel_thread() or something? Pretty long, though... I'd be fine with create_user_worker(). -- Jens Axboe _______________________________________________ Virtualization mailing list Virtualization@lists.linux-foundation.org https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/virtualization
