Subject: workqueue and kworker

Hi
 
It seems that even if you create a dedicated workqueue
in your driver, it does not give you a dedicated
kworker thread. Is this normal behaviour?
If so, then what is the difference between using
generic workqueue and dedicated workqueue?
 
I need to set the priority of my kworker thread high
(a specific value). For that I called sched_setscheduler()
in my workqueue handler. But I found that other
workqueues are also being executed on my high priority
kworker thread which is unexpected.
How do I give high priority to my kworker thread
without affecting the behaviour of other workqueues?
 
Thanks
RR
