The driver creates its own per-CPU threads which are updated based on CPU hotplug events. It is also possible to use kworkers and remove some of the kthread infrastrucure. The code checked ->thread to decide if there is an active per-CPU thread. By using the kworker infrastructure this is no longer possible (or required). The thread pointer is saved in `kthread' instead of `thread' so anything trying to use thread is caught by the compiler. Currently only the bnx2fc driver is using struct fcoe_percpu_s and the kthread member. After a CPU went offline, we may still enqueue items on the "offline" CPU. This isn't much of a problem. The work will be done on a random CPU. The allocated crc_eof_page page won't be cleaned up. It is probably expected that the CPU comes up at some point so it should not be a problem. The crc_eof_page memory is released of course once the module is removed. This patch was only compile-tested due to -ENODEV. Cc: Vasu Dev <vasu.dev@intel.com> Cc: "James E.J.
