The value of skb_data->wait indicates whether skb is passed on to the
core mac80211 stack or released by the driver itself. Make sure that by
the time skb is added to txwd queue and becomes visible to the completing
side, it has already allocated and initialized TX wait related data (in
case it's needed).
This is found by code review and addresses a possible race scenario
described below:
Waiting thread Completing thread
rtw89_core_send_nullfunc()
rtw89_core_tx_write_link()
...
rtw89_pci_txwd_submit()
skb_data->wait = NULL
/* add skb to the queue */
skb_queue_tail(&txwd->queue, skb)
/* another thread (e.g. rtw89_ops_tx) performs TX kick off for the same queue */
rtw89_pci_napi_poll()
...
rtw89_pci_release_txwd_skb()
/* get skb from the queue */
skb_unlink(skb, &txwd->queue)
rtw89_pci_tx_status()
rtw89_core_tx_wait_complete()
/* use incorrect skb_data->wait */
rtw89_core_tx_kick_off_and_wait()
/* assign skb_data->wait but too late */

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
