[PATCH v3 0/6] kthread: Add the helper function kthread_run_on_cpu()

From: Cai Huoqing
Date: Thu Oct 21 2021 - 22:59:23 EST


the helper function kthread_run_on_cpu() includes
kthread_create_on_cpu/wake_up_process().
In some cases, use kthread_run_on_cpu() directly instead of
kthread_create_on_node/kthread_bind/wake_up_process() or
kthread_create_on_cpu/wake_up_process() or
kthreadd_create/kthread_bind/wake_up_process() to simplify the code.

v1->v2:
*Remove cpu_to_node from kthread_create_on_cpu params.
*Updated the macro description comment.
v2->v3:
*Convert this helper macro to static inline function
*Fix typo in changelog
*Update changelog
