The reason is that we want it run immediately (or close to immediately). The code could be restructured to avoid calling this function with a 0, but itwould result in more code and no benefit. OK, now I'm not sure if we talked past each other. I didn't mean "don't call schedule_delayed_work() with a delay of 0" but "why aren't you using schedule_work() instead". But maybe it's just too early in the morning and I didn't have enough coffee yet.
Because the two functions take different work structures as arguments: static inline bool schedule_delayed_work(struct delayed_work *dwork, unsigned long delay) static inline bool schedule_work(struct work_struct *work)
Thanks,
Johannes
