[PATCH net] xirc2ps_cs: Fix use after free bug in xirc2ps_detach

From: Zheng Wang
Date: Thu Mar 09 2023 - 12:04:35 EST


In xirc2ps_probe, the local->tx_timeout_task was bounded
with xirc2ps_tx_timeout_task. When timeout occurs,
it will call xirc_tx_timeout->schedule_work to start the
work.

When we call xirc2ps_detach to remove the driver, there
may be a sequence as follows:

Fix it by finishing the work before cleanup in xirc2ps_detach

CPU0 CPU1

|xirc2ps_tx_timeout_task
xirc2ps_detach |
free_netdev |
kfree(dev); |
|
| do_reset
| //use
