Yes, this makes sense. Have you tried a simpler implementation that
would just queue on the lockless link list unconditionally? That would
certainly reduce the complexity. Essentially something similar that we
do in vfree_atomic (well, except the queue_work which is likely too
heavy for the usecase and potentialy not reentrant).
