linux kernel, work queues

linux krnel, work queues

quoted from :Professional linux kernel architecture by Wolfgang Mauerer

1. Work queues are further means of deferring actions until later. Because they are executed in the user context by means of daemons, the functions can sleep as long as they like.

2. Each work queue has an array with as many entries as there are processors in the system. Each entry lists tasks to be performed at a later time.
