Thanks for the kind explanation and feedback.
I am verifying another method which do the msleep() in the individual schedule work to avoid such crash issue.

Would you please let me know how to reproduce this crash phenomenon?
Then I can ensure the new solution is stronger and solve this problem as well.

Thanks.
