When creating the write thread, ensure that the kthread has been created before initializing the timer responsible from kicking it. Otherwise, if the kthread creation fails or gets killed from used space, we risk kicking an empty thread structure. Also, since the kthread creation can be interrupted form user space, adapt the error path to not report an error when this happens, since it is intentional that the instance creation is aborted.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
