If someone has done a schedule_work(), that will stick an entry onto keventd's worklist, but it won't necessarily set need_resched(). We'd need to extend the workqueue API to be able to determine whether there's other work pending. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
