+Non-reentrance Conditions
+=========================
+
+Workqueue guarantees that a work item cannot be re-entrant if the following
+conditions hold after a work item gets queued:
+
+ 1. The work function hasn't been changed.
+ 2. No one queues the work item to another workqueue.
+ 3. The work item hasn't been reinitiated.
+
+In other words, if the above conditions hold, the work item is guaranteed to be
+executed by at most one worker system-wide at any given time.
+
+Note that requeuing the work item (to the same queue) in the self function
+doesn't break these conditions, so it's safe to do. Otherwise, caution is
+required when breaking the conditions inside a work function.
