From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx> Since we want the code to be able to sleep in the future, it must not be called from the timer directly. To achieve that, simply call the function drivers would call, and also use RCU in the timer to get the struct so we don't need to rely on the spinlock in the future.
