Re: ath5k/mac80211: Reproducible deadlock with 64-stations.

I have a potential scenario:

The ieee80211_do_stop logic is called under RTNL, and it
then calls flush_work().

What if the worker thread is currently blocked on something like
wireless_nlevent_process which tries to acquire rtnl?

Wouldn't that cause a deadlock?

Thanks,
Ben
