The ieee80211_queue_work function queues work into the mac80211 local->workqueue, which is widely used for mac80211 internal work processes. In the mt76 driver, both the mt76-sido-status and mt76-sdio-net threads enqueue workers to the workqueue with this function. However, in some cases, when two workers are enqueued to the workqueue almost simultaneously, the second worker may not be scheduled immediately and may get stuck for a while. This can cause timing issues. To avoid these timing conflicts caused by worker scheduling, replace the worker with an independent thread.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
