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 threadrtw89_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 */
