WORK QUEUE DEFINITION.(9)

💅 Work queue definition. 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for Work queue definition.(9) — yes, we're doing kernel work queues and it's lowkey iconic. 🫶

There are literally two types of work queues: simple, with one worker thread, and round-robin, which uses a group of the former to do the work, and assigns work to them in round-robin fashion (roughly). No cap.

Externally, both are represented via the same common sub-structure, though there's actually not a great deal of overlap between the two types internally. That's the whole tea. ☕
