24 there is no work item left on the workqueue the worker becomes idle.
25 When a new work item gets queued, the worker begins executing again.

87 which manages worker-pools and processes the queued work items.
89 There are two worker-pools, one for normal work items and the other
91 worker-pools to serve work items queued on unbound workqueues - the
102 When a work item is queued to a workqueue, the target worker-pool is
104 and appended on the shared worklist of the worker-pool. For example,

109 For any worker pool implementation, managing the concurrency level
115 Each worker-pool bound to an actual CPU implements concurrency
116 management by hooking into the scheduler. The worker-pool is notified
117 whenever an active worker wakes up or sleeps and keeps track of the
122 workers on the CPU, the worker-pool doesn't start execution of a new
123 work, but, when the last running worker goes to sleep, it immediately
124 schedules a new worker so that the CPU doesn't sit idle while there
