Subject: [RFC 0/7] vhost: Add support of kthread API
In commit 6e890c5d5021 ("vhost: use vhost_tasks for worker threads"),
vhost removed the support for the kthread API. However, there are
still situations where there is a request to use kthread.
In this RFC, the support of kthread is added back. Additionally,
a module_param is added to identify which mode we are using, and
a new UAPI is introduced to allow the userspace app to set the
mode they want to use.
Cindy Lu (7):
vhost: Add a new module_param for enable kthread
vhost: Add kthread support in function vhost_worker_queue()
vhost: Add kthread support in function vhost_workers_free()
vhost: Add the vhost_worker to support kthread
vhost: Add the cgroup related function
vhost: Add kthread support in function vhost_worker_create
vhost: Add new UAPI to support changing Kthread mode
