Hi,
I understand that there is a default worker thread ("event") to which
most of the drivers submit work (for bottom half processing).
Now since this thread is catering to all of the drivers; if a driver's
code sleeps, then aren't the rest of the drivers penalised?
I mean the rest of the drivers want to do their work but the thread is
now sleeping since one of the driver has issued a sleeping call?
Wouldn't a seperate worker thread for each driver be a better design?
Thanks & Sincere Regards,
Rajat Jain
