Subject: [PATCH] mwifiex: fix kernel crash after shutdown command timeout
Date: Fri, 24 Feb 2017 18:59:24 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1487942964-3193-1-git-send-email-akarwar@marvell.com> (raw)

We observed a SHUTDOWN command timeout during reboot stress test due
to a corner case firmware bug. It leads to use-after-free on adapter
structure pointer and crash.

We already have a cancel_work_sync() call in teardown thread. This
issue is fixed by having this call just before mwifiex_remove_card().
At this point no further work will be scheduled.
