Yes that seems like a good solution - there doesn't seem to be a good 
reason why the actual job cleanup needs to be done within the 
wait_event_interruptible() condition. I did briefly attempt that before, 
but I couldn't work out exactly what the condition is which should cause 
the wake (my initial attempt caused continuous wake-ups).

I'm not back in the office until Monday, but I'll have another go then 
at spitting the checking and the actual freeing of the jobs.

Thanks,

Steve
