When a siox master device is registered a kthread is created that is only started when triggered by userspace. So this thread might be in TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE state for long and trigger a warning [ 241.130465] INFO: task siox-0:626 blocked for more than 120 seconds. with the respective debug settings enabled. It might be right to put an unstarted thread to TASK_IDLE (in kernel/kthread.c:kthread()) instead, but independant of this discussion it is cleaner for siox_master_register() to start the thread immediately. The effect is that it enters its own waiting state and then stays in state TASK_IDLE which doesn't trigger the above warning. As siox_poll_thread() uses some variables of the device the initialisation of these is moved before thread creation.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
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.
