First of all, what the hell does it have to do with GPL? Or modules vs. built-in, for that matter... kernel_thread() is _not_ what it used to be way back and export or no export, your driver isn't going to be happy with it. kthread_run() had been there for more than 11 years, for crying out loud! -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
