Zefir:
Thanks a lot for this reference. All my systems are running Ubuntu
10.04/10.10. I was updating our compat-wireless with the stable
compat-wireless 3.5
and came across this crash in our testing lab. I added your patch and
the stable compat-wireless 3.5 is now working with our Ubuntu.

Ubuntu 10.10 stock kernel (2.6.35-22-generic) crashes in
compat_flush_scheduled_work(), that is called e.g. when
mac80211 module is unloaded.
The problem was introduced with 80bf8a83
compat: backport system work queues system_wq and system_long_wq
The crash happens in compat_flush_scheduled_work() where both
flush_workqueue() and flush_scheduled_work() are called successively.
Removing one of them resolves the issue.
All compat-wireless tarballs after 2012-03-18 are affected.
