Subject: Re: [PATCH 6/6] r8152: Convert from tasklet to BH workqueue

  I think we are missing queue_work() above, right?

   To avoid such situations, could we combine enable_work() + queue_work(),
into a single API?
Perhaps, something like:

static inline bool enable_and_queue_work(struct workqueue_struct *wq,
struct work_struct *work)
{
       if (enable_work(work))
       {
             queue_work(wq, work);
             return true;
       }
       return false;
}


Thanks,
Allen
