kthread_run_worker_on_cpu(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, say hi to kthread_run_worker_on_cpu from the Kernel API Manual — it's literally here to create and wake a cpu bound kthread worker. slay. 💅✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct kthread_worker * kthread_run_worker_on_cpu (int cpu , unsigned int flags , const char namefmt[] );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• cpu — the CPU number. that's the whole vibe.
• flags — flags that modify the default behavior of the worker.
• namefmt — a printf-style name for the thread. the format is restricted to "name.*u", and the code fills in the cpu number. iykyk.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

it's a convenient wrapper for kthread_create_worker_on_cpu followed by wake_up_process. no cap, that's the whole move. 🫶

returns the kthread_worker or ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM). iconic behavior, honestly. 💖
