[PATCH] sh: push-switch: reorder cleanup operations to avoid UAF bug

From: Duoming Zhou
Date: Tue Aug 01 2023 - 23:39:16 EST


The original code puts flush_work() before timer_shutdown_sync()
in switch_drv_remove(). Although we use flush_work() to stop
the worker, it could be re-scheduled in switch_timer. As a result,
the UAF bug will happen. The detail is shown below:

(cpu 0) | (cpu 1)
switch_drv_remove() |
flush_work() |
... | switch_timer //timer
| schedule_work(&psw->work)
timer_shutdown_sync() |
... | switch_work_handler //worker
kfree(psw) //free |
| psw->state = 0 //use

This patch puts timer_shutdown_sync() before flush_work() to
mitigate the bugs. As a result, the worker and timer could
be stopped safely before the deallocate operations.
