> commit ba9f93f82abafe2552eac942ebb11c2df4f8dd7f upstream.
>
> In commit a5ffbe0a1993 ("rtlwifi: Fix scheduling while atomic bug") and
> commit a269913c52ad ("rtlwifi: Rework rtl_lps_leave() and rtl_lps_enter()
> to use work queue"), an error was introduced in the power-save routines
> due to the fact that leaving PS was delayed by the use of a work queue.
>
> This problem is fixed by detecting if the enter or leave routines are
> in interrupt mode. If so, the workqueue is used to place the request.
> If in normal mode, the enter or leave routines are called directly.
>
> Fixes: a269913c52ad ("rtlwifi: Rework rtl_lps_leave() and rtl_lps_enter() to use work queue")
