Subject: [PATCH] fs/afs: Convert to kthread API.
From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@...ssion.com>
This patch modifies the startup of kafscmd, kafsasyncd, and kafstimod
to use kthread_run instead of a combination of kernel_thread and
daemonize making the code slightly simpler and more maintainable.
In addition since by default all signals are ignored when delivered
to a kernel thread the code to flush signals has been removed.
