> tape_generic_remove() drops the device reference without cancelling
> the pending delayed work tape_dnr. If tape_delayed_next_request() is
> still scheduled or running when the struct is freed on the final
> reference drop, the work function dereferences freed memory.
> 
> The cancel cannot go in tape_put_device() because that function is
> called from atomic context (under get_ccwdev_lock with interrupts
> disabled) and from within the work function itself, both of which
> would deadlock or sleep in atomic context with cancel_delayed_work_sync().
> 
> Add cancel_delayed_work_sync() in tape_generic_remove() after
> dev_set_drvdata() clears the device pointer and before dropping the
> final reference. At this point the spinlock is not held and the device
> is no longer reachable for new operations.
