[PATCH] media: rkvdec: fix use after free bug in rkvdec_remove

From: Zheng Wang
Date: Tue Mar 07 2023 - 12:45:59 EST


In rkvdec_probe, rkvdec->watchdog_work is bound with
rkvdec_watchdog_func. Then rkvdec_vp9_run may
be called to start the work.

If we remove the module which will call rkvdec_remove
to make cleanup, there may be a unfinished work.
The possible sequence is as follows, which will
cause a typical UAF bug.

Fix it by canceling the work before cleanup in rkvdec_remove.

kfree(m2m_dev); |

| m2m_dev->curr_ctx //use
