Re: [PATCH] rose: Fix use-after-free in rose_timer_expiry

Patch applied to rose_timer.c

Result is interesting even if

rose module cannot still be removed with rmmod command.

For a very long time rmmod would freeze the console and the task could not be killed.

With the patch applied rmmod command is not blocked anymore.

However rose module is not removed probably because of a wrong refcount ?

lsmod | grep rose
rose 184320 -1
ax25 217088 1 rose
