[PATCH v1 2/2] thermal: testing: Flush work items during cleanup
From: Rafael J. Wysocki
Date: Wed Jun 17 2026 - 12:29:53 EST
From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx>
To prevent freed module code from being executed during the thermal
testing module unload, make it add a dedicated workqueue for thermal
testing work items and flush it in thermal_testing_exit().
Fixes: f6a034f2df42 ("thermal: Introduce a debugfs-based testing facility")
