Hi,

I wanted to know whether the workqueue gets scheduled before a kernel thread (created by kthread_run()). I have a function that runs in the thread created by kthread_run(). If I use the workqueue interface, then will it be scheduled before other threads created by kthread_run().

Regards,

Could you please tell me more about Work Queue synchronization?
Are they cumulative? If I scheduled the same work several times inside
one isr handler or different isr handlers will all of them run or not and in which sequence?

Thanks,
Vlad
