So if that is the case what bounds your memory usage - can a busy box end
up with thousands of work queue slos used ? It sounds like your model is
perhaps wrong - if there is a continual stream of work maybe you should
simply have a kernel thread to handle it if it cannot be deferred
- remember ldisc code is able to sleep in most paths.
