Allen Pais 60b2ebf485 workqueue: Introduce from_work() helper for cleaner callback declarations
To streamline the transition from tasklets to worqueues, a new helper
function, from_work(), is introduced. This helper, inspired by existing
from_() patterns, utilizes container_of() and eliminates the redundancy
of declaring variable types, leading to more concise and readable code.

The modified code snippet demonstrates the enhanced clarity achieved
with from_wq():

  void callback(struct work_struct *w)
   {
     - struct some_data_structure *local = container_of(w,
						       struct some_data_structure,
						       work);
     + struct some_data_structure *local = from_work(local, w, work);

This change aims to facilitate a smoother transition and uphold code
quality standards.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
