- * kthread_create: create a kthread.

- * @namefmt: printf-style name for the thread.
- *
- * Description: This helper function creates and names a kernel
- * thread.  The thread will be stopped: use wake_up_process() to start
- * it.  See also kthread_run(), kthread_create_on_cpu().
- *
- * When woken, the thread will run @threadfn() with @data as its
- * argument. @threadfn can either call do_exit() directly if it is a
- * standalone thread for which noone will call kthread_stop(), or
- * return when 'kthread_should_stop()' is true (which means
- * kthread_stop() has been called).  The return value should be zero
- * or a negative error number: it will be passed to kthread_stop().
- *
- * Returns a task_struct or ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM).
