Hi,

the net80211 semantics are:

* all those tasks have to have finished;
* no new tasks should've been started whilst we're draining those tasks.

waitfor_parent wants to block until all the pending update tasks are
done. Ideally it would then stay blocked until the caller does their
thing and then unblocks the taskqueue.
