I think that part is normal, the way we use the queue is to always
submit a work operation followed by a wait operation so that we can
determine the work operation is complete. That's done via
qi_submit_sync(). We have had spurious reports of the queue getting
impossibly out of sync though. I saw one that was somehow linked to the
I/O AT DMA engine. Roland Dreier saw something similar[1]. I'm not
sure if they're related to this, but maybe worth comparing. Thanks,

Alex
