I think its more of a different paradigm than complicated. The big question I'd have to ask is how does it fit with hard real time. That is a big issue given the gradual merging and getting of "hard" real time into the kernel proper. In some ways it's not that strange either. A look at what happens on some of our kref handling in drivers is very similar but hardcoded. Is the handling of priority inversion within closures a well understood and solved problem ?
