When I turned RCU lock debugging on, I got the same diagnostic.
BTW, drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi/rtl8192cu/trx.c has the same problem in
rtl92cu_tx_fill_desc() as you found in the rtl8192ce version of the routine. Do
you want to include that in a V2 of the patch, or should I prepare a second one?
For the content of this one, ACK.
