Subject: [PATCH v2 21/30] cxlflash: Fix to prevent workq from accessing freed memory
Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2015 11:59:39 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1442422779-41806-1-git-send-email-mrochs@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
The workq can process work in parallel with a remove event, leading
to a condition where the workq handler can access freed memory.
To remedy, the workq should be terminated prior to freeing memory. Move
the termination call earlier in remove and use cancel_work_sync() instead
of flush_work() as there is not a need to process any scheduled work when
shutting down.
