[PATCH v2 0/2] ath11k: add 11d scan offload support for QCA6390/WCN6855

Hi Kalle,

I have reproduced the "WARNING: possible circular locking dependency 
detected" which is same with you while stop wlan.

the reason is not directly relative with "ath11k: add 11d scan offload 
support for QCA6390/WCN6855".

it is because the ieee80211_queue_work(ar->hw, &ar->regd_update_work) in 
function ath11k_reg_chan_list_event().

I also see the same warning after I removed 11d scan and run "iw reg set 
US" instead to trigger the ieee80211_queue_work(ar->hw, 
&ar->regd_update_work).


And the real deadlock happened in 
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-wireless/patch/1608617166-17180-1-git-send-email-wgong@codeaurora.org/

which I hit.


This warning gone by change "ieee80211_queue_work(ar->hw, 
&ar->regd_update_work)" to "queue_work(ab->workqueue, 
&ar->regd_update_work)" in my test on tag ath-202111221111.
