To streamline the transition from tasklets to worqueues, a new helper
function, from_work(), is introduced. This helper, inspired by existing
from_() patterns, utilizes container_of() and eliminates the redundancy
of declaring variable types, leading to more concise and readable code.
The modified code snippet demonstrates the enhanced clarity achieved
with from_wq():
void callback(struct work_struct *w)
{
- struct some_data_structure *local = container_of(w,
struct some_data_structure,
work);
+ struct some_data_structure *local = from_work(local, w, work);
This change aims to facilitate a smoother transition and uphold code
quality standards.
