[PATCH 2/2] edac: edac_device: don't re-arm workqueue during teardown

From: Jad Keskes

Date: Wed Jul 08 2026 - 10:19:31 EST


edac_device_del_device stops the workqueue then removes the sysfs
attributes. But the sysfs store for poll_msec calls
edac_device_reset_delay_period which unconditionally re-arms the
workqueue. If someone writes to poll_msec in that window, the
re-armed work runs after edac_dev is freed.

Check op_state instead. del_device already sets it to OP_OFFLINE
before tearing down the workqueue, so reset_delay_period will see
it and skip the mod_work call.
