Subject: Re: [RFC 09/16] kgr: mark task_safe in some kthreads

Would it make sense to bury kgr_task_safe() in wait_event_interruptible()
and friends? The kgr_task_safe() implementation looks pretty lightweight,
so it should not be a performance problem.
One reason might this might be a bad idea is that there are calls to
wait_event_interruptible() all over the place, which might therefore
constrain where grafting could be safely done. That would be fair enough,
but does that also imply new constraints on where kthread_should_stop()
can be invoked? Any new constraints might not be a big deal given that
a very large fraction of the kthreads (and maybe all of them) invoke
kthread_should_stop() from their top-level function, but would be good
to call out.
So, what is the story?
Thanx, Paul
