Doing reset from tasklet context created several nasty stability issues that were hard to track down, and the potential gain from doing reset 'immediately' that way is purely theoretical. Resets should be rare in normal operation, as they're also expensive. The main problem when running reset from a tasklet is that there is no way of gracefully shutting down ongoing workqueue activity, so the result of the reset could be that the work items mess up the state right after the reset is done.
thanks, true in this case ath_reset is called from tasklet context. i will send a v2 for using queue_work.
