tq_immediate looks to be some very old piece of kernel infrastructure which is somewhat obsolete but all the users have not been converted to yet. May run in interrupt context.
tq_scheduler callbacks run in process context. Use schedule_task() instead.
These mechanisms are discussed in the Rubini/Corbet bible: http://www.xml.com/ldd/chapter/book/ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
