You could just call do_handling_work directly... 2) If you have heavy IO load, it might will up the workqueues. It should not cause total starvation. But if (1) did not solve your problem, try reproducing it while the system is idle. -Michi -- programing a layer 3+4 network protocol for mesh networks see http://michaelblizek.twilightparadox.com _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
