[PATCH 5/6] NLM: Convert lockd to use kthreads

From: Jeff Layton
Date: Thu Dec 13 2007 - 15:42:46 EST


Have lockd_up start lockd using svc_create_kthread. With this change,
lockd_down now blocks until lockd actually exits, so there's no longer
need for the waitqueue code at the end of lockd_down. This also means
that only one lockd can be running at a time which simplifies the code
within lockd's main loop a bit.
