[PATCH] usb: renesas_usbhs: Fix use after free bug in usbhs_remove due to race condition

From: Zheng Wang
Date: Fri Mar 10 2023 - 08:03:14 EST


In usbhs_probe, &priv->notify_hotplug_work is bound with
usbhsc_notify_hotplug. It will be started then.

If we remove the driver which will call usbhs_remove
to make cleanup, there may be a unfinished work.

The possible sequence is as follows:

Fix it by finishing the work before cleanup in the usbhs_remove

|usbhsc_notify_hotplug
usbhs_remove |
usbhs_mod_remove |
usbhs_mod_gadget_remove|
kfree(gpriv); |
|usbhsc_hotplug
|usbhs_mod_call start
|usbhsg_start
|usbhsg_try_start
|//use gpriv
