Hi
I am using work queue to do bottom half processing in my driver. The function 
queue_work() doesn't enqueue the work if the work_struct is already in the 
queue. I want to know how this phenomenon is synchronized. Suppose I have 
enqueued a work which calls the function do_this_work(). Now the do_this_work() 
has been invoked and not finished yet. So if there is an interrupt while 
processing of this function, will the new work be enqueued or the queue_work() 
still give an error ?
What I could think is when the kernel starts processing do_this_work(), it 
resets some flag so that more work can be enqueued to the work queue. Does it 
behave like this or not ? Please elaborate the scenario if u can.
Thanks,Jasjit Singh
