Currently a tasklet is used to transmit input substream buffer data. However, tasklets have long been deprecated as being too heavy on the system by running in irq context - and this is not a performance critical path. If a higher priority process wants to run, it must wait for the tasklet to finish before doing so. Deferring work to a workqueue and executing in process context should be fine considering the callback already does f_midi_do_transmit() under the transmit_lock and thus changes in semantics are ok regarding concurrency - tasklets being serialized against itself.
