.PP
When someone calls
\fBkthread_park\fR
on your kthread, it will be woken and this will return true\&. You should then do the necessary cleanup and call
\fBkthread_parkme\fR
.PP
Similar to
\fBkthread_should_stop\fR, but this keeps the thread alive and in a park position\&.
\fBkthread_unpark\fR
\(lqrestarts\(rq
the thread and calls the thread function again\&.
