Hmm, no response in case of not supported command?

Want to reset notify_all in above if?
Could have been an "accept" which didn't queues a response.

I know you like workqueues more than IRQ threads. But probably the above
TODO could be handled via an IRQ thread more easily?

I think you should either solve above race, or add a comment why it is
not problematic, or show us why an IRQ thread doesn't solve the problem.
