Is it really okay that list_empty() isn't protected with a lock?
Why wait_event is "interruptible"?
To allow it to sleep until wakeup on thread it to avoid constant
checking for condition even when no buffers are ready, basically to
prevent blocking.
So the "interrupt" is for getting event about kthread_should_stop(),
correct?
also to prevent blocking and to let is sleep and wakeup based on wait
queue to evaluate condition to proceed with the task
