+/**
+ * kthread_mod_delayed_work - modify delay of or queue a kthread delayed work
+ * @worker: kthread worker to use
+ * @dwork: kthread delayed work to queue
+ * @delay: number of jiffies to wait before queuing
+ *
+ * If @dwork is idle, equivalent to kthread_queue_delayed_work(). Otherwise,
+ * modify @dwork's timer so that it expires after @delay. If @delay is zero,
+ * @work is guaranteed to be queued immediately.
+ *
+ * Return: %true if @dwork was pending and its timer was modified,
+ * %false otherwise.
+ *
+ * A special case is when the work is being canceled in parallel.
+ * It might be caused either by the real kthread_cancel_delayed_work_sync()
+ * or yet another kthread_mod_delayed_work() call. We let the other command
+ * win and return %false here. The caller is supposed to synchronize these
+ * operations a reasonable way.
+ *
+ * This function is safe to call from any context including IRQ handler.
+ * See __kthread_cancel_work() and kthread_delayed_work_timer_fn()
+ * for details.
