From 22a8578fca5a47e643bb4f70c232d0ec84db9e4e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ezequiel Garcia Date: Sat, 10 Nov 2012 13:08:20 -0300 Subject: mtd: mtd_blkdevs: Replace request handler kthread with a workqueue By replacing a kthread with a workqueue, the code is now a bit clearer. There's also a slight reduction of code size (numbers apply for x86): Before: text data bss dec hex filename 3248 36 0 3284 cd4 drivers/mtd/mtd_blkdevs.o After: text data bss dec hex filename 3150 36 0 3186 c72 drivers/mtd/mtd_blkdevs.o Due to lack of real hardware, tests have been performed on an emulated environment with mtdswap and mtdblock over nandsim devices. Some real testing should be done, before merging this patch.
