Hi,

 

I have a douby regarding  kthread working.

 

How can we check that a kthread is working or exited.

It  may exit beacuse of call to do_exit in threadfn or callling kthread_stop function on task_struct (correct me if i am weong).

 

I want to check that if kthread has finished its work or not.

If not then what should I call so that kthread gets killed.

If it is finshhed then which function I should call so that as to free kthread resources.

 

Regards,

Gaurav Mahajan.
