[PATCH] remove name length check in a workqueue
We have a chek in there to make sure that the name won't overflow task_struct.comm[], but it's triggering for scsi with lots of HBAs, only scsi is using single-threaded workqueues which don't append the "/%d" anyway. All too hard. Just kill the BUG_ON. Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> [ kthread_create() uses vsnprintf() and limits the thing, so no actual overflow can actually happen regardless ] Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
