You know 'enterprise' latency.
If you're talking about khelfper and wanna restore it, it really should be broken out into a separate kthread. It doesn't make any sense to implement that in the workqueue framework. Why would you implement a dedicated task inside a worker pool implementation which makes use of the said tasks? There's even kthread_work interface which pretty much provides workqueue-equivalent interface on top of a single task for cases like this. -- tejun -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
