[PATCH v3] usb: gadget: udc: renesas_usb3: Fix use after free bug in renesas_usb3_remove due to race condition

From: Zheng Wang
Date: Mon Mar 13 2023 - 12:52:49 EST


In renesas_usb3_probe, &usb3->role_work is bound with
renesas_usb3_role_work. renesas_usb3_start will be called
to start the work.

If we remove the driver which will call usbhs_remove, there may be
an unfinished work. The possible sequence is as follows:

Fix it by canceling the work before cleanup in the renesas_usb3_remove

|renesas_usb3_role_work
renesas_usb3_remove |
usb_role_switch_unregister |
device_unregister |
kfree(sw) |
free usb3->role_sw |
| usb_role_switch_set_role
| //use usb3->role_sw
