[PATCH] /net/9p/trans_fd.c: fix race-condition by flushing workqueue before the kfree()
From: Tomas Bortoli
Date: Thu Jul 19 2018 - 16:07:10 EST
The patch adds the flush in p9_mux_poll_stop() as it the function used by
p9_conn_destroy(), in turn called by p9_fd_close() to stop the async
polling associated with the data regarding the connection.

As shown by Syzbot, it is possible to provoke a race between p9_fd_close()
and p9_poll_workfn() that is called to take care of the async read/write work
to do. To make sure p9_fd_close() frees "trans" when it is not used anymore,
it has to explicitly call flush_scheduled_work() before the kfree().
