SubjectRe: [PATCH 8/9] rsxx: Fixes CPU usage issues on RHEL 6 Kernels.
Again, thanks for the prompt reply.

Also, sorry for my poor explaination skills :)

The RHEL 6.x version of the driver is using the legacy
worqueue create function, 'create_singlethread_workqueue'.
This would cause heavy usage of one CPU if data was being
thrashed pretty hard. So, in order to fix it, workqueues
are now being created with 'create_workqueue' and
synchronization with mutexes.

Thanks,
-Philip Kelleher
