- *
- * Schedule a slow work item for processing.  If the item is already undergoing
- * execution, this guarantees not to re-enter the execution routine until the
- * first execution finishes.
- *
- * The item is pinned by this function as it retains a reference to it, managed
- * through the item operations.  The item is unpinned once it has been
- * executed.
- *
- * An item may hog the thread that is running it for a relatively large amount
- * of time, sufficient, for example, to perform several lookup, mkdir, create
- * and setxattr operations.  It may sleep on I/O and may sleep to obtain locks.
- *
- * Conversely, if a number of items are awaiting processing, it may take some
- * time before any given item is given attention.  The number of threads in the
- * pool may be increased to deal with demand, but only up to a limit.
- *
- * If SLOW_WORK_VERY_SLOW is set on the work item, then it will be placed in
- * the very slow queue, from which only a portion of the threads will be
- * allowed to pick items to execute.  This ensures that very slow items won't
- * overly block ones that are just ordinarily slow.
