S< 11:02 0:00 [ehea_driver_wq/] root 3268 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? S< 11:02 0:00 [ehea_driver_wq/] root 3269 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? S< 11:02 0:00 [ehea_driver_wq/] root 3270 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? S< 11:02 0:00 [ehea_driver_wq/] root 3271 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? S< 11:02 0:00 [ehea_driver_wq/] root 3272 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? S< 11:02 0:00 [ehea_driver_wq/] root 3273 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? S< 11:02 0:00 [ehea_driver_wq/] root 3274 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? S< 11:02 0:00 [ehea_driver_wq/] root 3275 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? S< 11:02 0:00 [ehea_wq/0] root 3276 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? S< 11:02 0:00 [ehea_wq/1] root 3278 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? S< 11:02 0:00 [ehea_wq/2] root 3279 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? S< 11:02 0:00 [ehea_wq/3] root 3280 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? S< 11:02 0:00 [ehea_wq/4] root 3281 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? S< 11:02 0:00 [ehea_wq/5] root 3282 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? S< 11:02 0:00 [ehea_wq/6] root 3283 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? S< 11:02 0:00 [ehea_wq/7] (notice also that the ehea_driver_wq/XXX exceeds TASK_COMM_LEN). Since they are both infrequent events and not performance critical (memory hotplug and driver reset), can we just use schedule_work?
