In commit d3ccc14dfe95 most of the tasklets in this driver was updated to the new API. However for the rx_work_tasklet only the type of the callback was changed from void _rtl_rx_work(unsigned long data) to void _rtl_rx_work(struct tasklet_struct *t). The initialization of rx_work_tasklet was still open-coded and the function pointer just cast into the old type, and hence nothing sets rx_work_tasklet.use_callback = true and the callback was still called as t->func(t->data); with uninitialized/zero t->data. Commit 6b8c7574a5f8 changed the casting of _rtl_rx_work a bit and initialized t->data to a pointer to the tasklet cast to an unsigned long. This way calling t->func(t->data) might actually work through all the casting, but it still doesn't update the code to use the new tasklet API. Let's use the new tasklet_setup to initialize rx_work_tasklet properly and set rx_work_tasklet.use_callback = true so that the callback is called as t->callback(t); without all the casting.

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.
