Commit Message

Since commit 4977caef05aa ("kthread: work could not be queued when worker
being destroyed") there is a warning when kworker is used without the
internal 'task' entry properly initialized. Fix this by using
a kthread_create_worker() helper instead of open-coding a kworker
initialization.

This fixes a following warning during SPI controller probe, observed on
the Samsung Exynos 5420-based Peach-Pit Chromebook with recent linux-next
kernel:

Please think hard before including complete backtraces in upstream
reports, they are very large and contain almost no useful information
relative to their size so often obscure the relevant content in your
message. If part of the backtrace is usefully illustrative (it often is
for search engines if nothing else) then it's usually better to pull out
the relevant sections.

This commit should disappear from linux-next soon. We did not expect
that it would cause these warnings. We first want to fix the callers
before we put it back.

But the fix is great and makes sense on its own.

The use of kthread_create_worker() simplifies the code. It uses
the kthread worker API the right way. It will eventually allow
to remove the FIXME in kthread_worker_fn() and add more consistency
checks.

I would use the above reasoning instead of the backtrace in the commit
message. And feel free to use:

Applied to

Thanks!

[1/1] spi: use kthread_create_worker() helper
      commit: 60a883d119ab9ef63f830c85bbd2f0e2e2314f4f

All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next
tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during
the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if
problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted.

You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing
and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and
send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed.

If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they
should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing
patches will not be replaced.

Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying
to this mail.

Thanks,
Mark
