Subject: [REV2: PATCH 1/2]: workqueue: Implement the kernel API
From: Krishna Kumar <krkumar2@...ibm.com>
Implement two API's for quickly updating delayed works:
int schedule_update_delayed_work(struct delayed_work *dwork,
unsigned long delay);
int queue_update_delayed_work(struct workqueue_struct *wq,
struct delayed_work *dwork,
unsigned long delay);
These API's are useful to update an existing work entry more efficiently (but
can also be used to queue a new work entry) when the operation is done very
frequently. The rationale is to save time of first cancelling work/timer and
adding work/timer when the same work is added many times in quick succession.
