[PATCH 6/6] staging/rtl8192e,ieee80211: replace ps tasklet with work

From: Davidlohr Bueso
Date: Mon Apr 11 2022 - 11:17:06 EST


Tasklets have long been deprecated as being too heavy on the system
by running in irq context - and this is not a performance critical
path. If a higher priority process wants to run, it must wait for
the tasklet to finish before doing so.

rtllib_sta_ps() and ieee80211_sta_ps() will now run in process context
and have further concurrency (tasklets being serialized among themselves),
but this is done holding the ieee->lock, so it should be fine.
