Seems the warning does not affect use of wireless,  false positive?

No, it's a bug... but please read&    test the attached patch.

This is not yet in wireless-testing.  Should it be?
have you heard anything from Ming Lei about this subject?
Or have you reproduced the bug too?

See my post about   inconsistent {IN-SOFTIRQ-W} ->  {SOFTIRQ-ON-W}.

I'm not sure it's the same bug, but it would appear similar at least.
At first glance, your trace looks unrelated to Ming Lei's issue.
But we won't know for sure, unless you have a reliable way to
reproduce the exact circumstances.

If your patch is probably good, I can go ahead and apply it.
We can at least test that it doesn't obviously make things worse.
Ok, if the patch doesn't make things worse than they are, I can
risk another attempt.

We've been running your patch for a few days, and it hasn't caused
any additional problems as far as I can tell.

Thanks,
Ben
