Hi All, This may sound a dumb question. I just want to know if a

tasklet can be scheduled from a kernel thread. You can do tasklet_schedule in case I am getting your question.

what are the pros and crons of doing so?

Don't sleep or schedule the tasklet code. It needs to be atomic since it runs via TASKLET_SOFTIRQ.

thanks, Vishwas S
