It was always the case on SMP machines that rt2x00usb_interrupt_{tx/rx}done
can run concurrently with rt2x00_work_{rx,tx}done, so I do not
understand how removing local_irq_save() around complete handler broke
things.
Have you reverted commit ed194d136769 and the revert does solve the problem ?
Between 4.19 and 4.20 we have some quite big changes in rt2x00 driver:
0240564430c0 rt2800: flush and txstatus rework for rt2800mmio
adf26a356f13 rt2x00: use different txstatus timeouts when flushing
5022efb50f62 rt2x00: do not check for txstatus timeout every time on tasklet
0b0d556e0ebb rt2800mmio: use txdone/txstatus routines from lib
5c656c71b1bf rt2800: move usb specific txdone/txstatus routines to rt2800lib
so I'm a bit afraid that one of those changes is real cause of
the issue not ed194d136769 .

Do you know what actually make the traffic stop,
TX queue hung or RX queue hung?

Unfortunately I do not understand how this suppose to fix the problem,
could you elaborate more about this change?
