It immediately breaks flush_workqueue/cancel_workqueue functions. And I personally think it is not very useful, even if it was correct. You can create your own workqueue and change the priority of cwq->thread. > > @@ -168,7 +171,7 @@ int fastcall queue_work(struct workqueue > > int ret = 0, cpu = raw_smp_processor_id(); > > > > if (!test_and_set_bit(WORK_STRUCT_PENDING, work_data_bits(work))) { > > - BUG_ON(!list_empty(&work->entry)); > > + BUG_ON(!plist_node_empty(&work->entry)); > > __queue_work(wq_per_cpu(wq, cpu), work); > > ret = 1; Side note, looks like you use some strange kernel. This raw_smp_processor_id() above is wrong.
