* A work item instance will not be processed by multiple workers at the same time, i.e. it's non-reentrant, so requeuing the same instance of a work item is safe and not racy. Operations considered as changing the work item to a different instance are: 1) change the work function, 2) queue the work item to a different workqueue, or 3) reinitiate the work item. The non-reentrance guarantee doesn't hold for different work item instances.
Yeah, I prefer it to be described this way but it's not a strong opinion. Looks good to me either way. Thanks. -- tejun
