[PATCH v4 6/6] drm/amdgpu/ras: Fix delayed work cancellation order during teardown

From: Sreeraj S Kurup

Date: Sun Aug 09 2026 - 04:52:53 EST


In amdgpu_ras_fini(), cancel_delayed_work_sync() is currently called
after ACA subsystems and locks are destroyed. Similarly, in
amdgpu_ras_recovery_fini(), mutex_destroy(&con->page_rsv_lock) is
called before cancel_delayed_work_sync(&con->page_retirement_dwork).

If delayed work runs while teardown is in progress, it can attempt
to acquire destroyed mutexes, leading to locking violations and
potential use-after-free conditions.

Fix this by moving cancel_delayed_work_sync() and cancel_work_sync()
prior to mutex destruction and subsystem teardown in both functions,
ensuring all pending work is synchronously canceled while locks
remain intact.
