[PATCH v9 07/10] s390/vfio_ccw: cancel existing workqueues

From: Eric Farman

Date: Mon Jul 27 2026 - 23:31:59 EST


The initialization of the io_work and crw_work workqueues begs the
question of whether they should be un-initialized. Add the corresponding
cleanup tags in _release_dev to ensure work isn't dispatched after
the private struct is free'd.
