  * @gcwq: gcwq of interest
  * @work: work to find worker for
  *
- * Find a worker which is executing @work on @gcwq.  This function is
- * identical to __find_worker_executing_work() except that this
- * function calculates @bwh itself.
+ * Find a worker which is executing @work on @gcwq by searching
+ * @gcwq->busy_hash which is keyed by the address of @work.  For a worker
+ * to match, its current execution should match the address of @work and
+ * its work function.  This is to avoid unwanted dependency between
+ * unrelated work executions through a work item being recycled while still
+ * being executed.
+ *
+ * This is a bit tricky.  A work item may be freed once its execution
+ * starts and nothing prevents the freed area from being recycled for
+ * another work item.  If the same work item address ends up being reused
+ * before the original execution finishes, workqueue will identify the
+ * recycled work item as currently executing and make it wait until the
+ * current execution finishes, introducing an unwanted dependency.
+ *
+ * This function checks the work item address, work function and workqueue
+ * to avoid false positives.  Note that this isn't complete as one may
+ * construct a work function which can introduce dependency onto itself
+ * through a recycled work item.  Well, if somebody wants to shoot oneself
+ * in the foot that badly, there's only so much we can do, and if such
+ * deadlock actually occurs, it should be easy to locate the culprit work
+ * function.
  *
  * CONTEXT:
  * spin_lock_irq(gcwq->lock).
