Incoming llc messages are processed in irq tasklet context, and a worker is used to send outgoing messages. The worker is needed because getting a send buffer could result in a wait for a free buffer. To make sure all incoming llc messages are processed in a serialized way introduce an event queue and create a new queue entry for each message which is queued to this event queue. A new worker processes the event queue entries in order. And remove the use of a separate worker to send outgoing llc messages because the messages are processed in worker context already. With this event queue the serialized llc_wq work queue is obsolete, remove it.

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 Restructured Text 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.
