There are still a few references to keventd in there. One of them is simply wrong: "runs as a child of keventd". The userspace code is actually a child of the khelper thread, yes? I guess we should remove all kernel references to "keventd". It got renamed to "kworker". -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
