- * We create our own workqueue mainly because we want to be

+ * from a task on that same workqueue, it deadlocks the system.
+ * We want to be able to flush the tasks associated with a
+ * specific net device, so we also create a workqueue for each
+ * netdevice. We queue up the tasks for that device only on
+ * its private workqueue, and we only queue up flush events
+ * on our global flush workqueue. This avoids the deadlocks.
