   > > Hi @hujun260 ,
   > > `esp32s3-devkit:sta_softap` eventually asserts at `DEBUGASSERT(tcb->cpu 
== this_cpu` 
(https://github.com/apache/incubator-nuttx/blob/a56714888868399b5148ab84f8a100505bd3e974/sched/sched/sched_removereadytorun.c#L291)
 when running iPerf server for a while (some minutes). Do you have any idea 
why? (or what should we look for to solve this problem?)
   > 
   > `DEBUGASSERT(tcb->cpu == this_cpu)` means that the logic should be running 
on tcb->cpu but instead is running on some other CPU. This means that the 
critical section is broken and unmanaged context switches are occurring. One 
fix is to revert these commit(s) that remove the required SMP support from 
`enter_critical_section()`.
   > 
   > Try it.

   > Removing that SMP support allows context switches to occur in the middle 
of a critical section and completely breaks the critical section logic. A 
variety of unpredictable bad results will occur occasionally.
   > 
   > I am not sure why that is. I suspect that this is caused beccause with 
this change, interrupts are no longer disabled on the other CPUs and there are 
probably ways that interrupt activity can force context switches.
   
   Thanks for your comment, Greg. The assertion started triggering after these 
commits were added. Checking out to the revision just before them being merged 
works as expected
