The workqueue provided by mac80211 should not be used for scheduled tasks that acquire the RTNL lock. This could be done when the driver uses the function ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces() within the scheduled work. Such behavior will end in locking dependencies problems when an interface is being removed. This patch will add a notification about the RTNL locking and the mac80211 workqueue to prevent driver developers from blindly using it.
