创建
创建的时候就很简单了，有
kthread_run();
// 或者
kthread_create();
其实呢，这块就是自己知道的太少，来看看我的低级错误。
原始代码
19.c
解释
int wait_event_interruptible(wait_queue_head_t q, CONDITION);
void wake_up_all(wait_queue_head_t *q);
The whole point of a scheduler is to avoid polling in cases like this. What happens is precisely described in what you quoted : The condition is only rechecked on wake_up, ie for example if a given task is waiting for data to be produced :
consumer check if data is available if not (ie condition false) it goes to sleep and is added to a wait queue retry when waked up
While on the producer side Once data is produced, set some flag, or add something to a list so that the condition evaluated by the consumer becomes true call wake_up or wake_up all on a waitqueue
Now , I suggest you try to use them, and come back with another question AND code you tried if it does not work the way you want.
这篇文章也是很好的here
kthread_run 这篇文章值得仔细阅读 kthread_run()负责内核线程的创建，参数包括入口函数threadfn，参数data，线程名称namefmt。可以看到线程的名字可以是类似sprintf方式组成的字符串。如果实际看到kthread.h文件，就会发现kthread_run实际是一个宏定义，它由kthread_create()和wake_up_process()两部分组成，这样的好处是用kthread_run()创建的线程可以直接运行，使用方便。
我的错误就是在使用kthread_run又运行了一个wake_up_process的语句。
#define kthread_run(threadfn, data, namefmt, ...) \
({ \
struct task_struct *__k \
= kthread_create(threadfn, data, namefmt, ## __VA_ARGS__); \
if (!IS_ERR(__k)) \
wake_up_process(__k); \
__k; \
})
kthread_should_stop
kthread_should_stop()返回should_stop标志。它用于创建的线程检查结束标志，并决定是否退出。线程完全可以在完成自己的工作后主动结束，不需等待should_stop标志。
/**
* kthread_should_stop - should this kthread return now?
*
* When someone calls kthread_stop() on your kthread, it will be woken
* and this will return true. You should then return, and your return
* value will be passed through to kthread_stop().

kthread_stop
/**

* Sets kthread_should_stop() for @k to return true, wakes it, and

* instead of calling wake_up_process(): the thread will exit without
* calling threadfn().
*
* If threadfn() may call do_exit() itself, the caller must ensure
* task_struct can't go away.
*

* was never called.

int kthread_stop(struct task_struct *k)
{
struct kthread *kthread;
int ret;
trace_sched_kthread_stop(k);
get_task_struct(k);
kthread = to_kthread(k);
set_bit(KTHREAD_SHOULD_STOP, &kthread->flags);
kthread_unpark(k);
wake_up_process(k); // 首先唤醒这个进程
wait_for_completion(&kthread->exited); // 等待完成
ret = k->exit_code; //期待这个进程退出
put_task_struct(k); // 更改状态
trace_sched_kthread_stop_ret(ret);
return ret;
}
由这个api stop由kthread_create()产生的kthread,这个是可以直接调用的.线程一旦启动起来后，会一直运行，除非该线程主动调用do_exit函数，或者其他的进程调用kthread_stop函数，结束线程的运行。
wait_event_interruptible

schedule())
wait_event_interruptible函数最终将当前队列中的进程设置为TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE状态，然后调用schedule()函数 这个函数会将TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE状态的进程从runqueue队列中删除，结果就是不会再被调度了，那么，如何被重新调度呢？ 当然使用wait_up.这里先猜测下，wake_up函数与上面的函数应该一致，只是应该换成TASK_RUNNING状态。
接下来就是揭晓答案的时刻。
#define wake_up(x) __wake_up(x, TASK_NORMAL, 1, NULL)
接着往下找:

具体的封装链为:
wake_up->__wake_up->__wake_up_locked -> __wake_up_common->
当然，最后一个函数有些复杂.
好一个TASK_NORMAL这究竟是个什么东西？
