The airo driver is currently caching a pid for later use, but with the implementation of containers, pids themselves do not uniquely identify a task. The driver is also using kernel_thread() which is deprecated in drivers. This patch essentially replaces the kernel_thread() with kthread_create(). It also stores the task_struct of the airo_thread rather than its pid. Since this introduces a second task_struct in struct airo_info, the patch renames airo_info.task to airo_info.list_bss_task. As an extension of these changes, the patch further: - replaces kill_proc() with kthread_stop() - replaces signal_pending() with kthread_should_stop() - removes thread completion synchronisation which is handled by kthread_stop().
