Try following code :

#include <linux/sched.h>
#include <linux/kthread.h>
#include <linux/module.h>
#include <linux/slab.h>

MODULE_LICENSE("GPL");

static int nrthreads = 128;
module_param(nrthreads, int, 0644);

static int loopcount = 1024;
module_param(loopcount, int, 0644);

static int usehrtime = 0;
module_param(usehrtime, int, 0644);

static int slack = 50000;
module_param(slack, int, 0644);

static int msecs = 1;
module_param(msecs, int, 0644);

static struct task_struct **threads;

static int test(void *unused)
{
int i;
ktime_t expires = ktime_set(0, msecs * NSEC_PER_MSEC);

for (i = 0; !kthread_should_stop() && i < loopcount; i++) {
if (usehrtime) {
set_current_state(TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE);
schedule_hrtimeout_range(&expires, slack, HRTIMER_MODE_REL);
}
else
schedule_timeout_uninterruptible(msecs_to_jiffies(msecs));
}

return 0;
}

static int __init testmod_init(void)
{
int i;

printk("test begin\n");

threads = kmalloc(nrthreads * sizeof(struct task_struct *), GFP_KERNEL);
if (!threads)
return -ENOMEM;

for (i = 0; i < nrthreads; i++) {
threads[i] = kthread_create(test, NULL, "test/%d", i);
if (IS_ERR(threads[i])) {
int j, err = PTR_ERR(threads[i]);

for (j = 0; j < i; j++)
kthread_stop(threads[j]);
kfree(threads);
return err;
}
}
for (i = 0; i < nrthreads; i++) {
get_task_struct(threads[i]);
wake_up_process(threads[i]);
}
return 0;
}

static void __exit testmod_exit(void)
{
int i;

for (i = 0; i < nrthreads; i++) {
