Subject: [PATCH v0] ieee802154/adf7242: defer destroy_workqueue call
Date: Mon,  8 Aug 2022 11:42:24 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220808034224.12642-1-linma@zju.edu.cn> (raw)

There is a possible race condition (use-after-free) like below

  (FREE)                     |  (USE)
  adf7242_remove             |  adf7242_channel
   cancel_delayed_work_sync  |
    destroy_workqueue (1)    |   adf7242_cmd_rx
                             |    mod_delayed_work (2)
                             |

The root cause for this race is that the upper layer (ieee802154) is
unaware of this detaching event and the function adf7242_channel can
be called without any checks.

To fix this, we can add a flag write at the beginning of adf7242_remove
and add flag check in adf7242_channel. Or we can just defer the
destructive operation like other commit 3e0588c291d6 ("hamradio: defer
ax25 kfree after unregister_netdev") which let the
ieee802154_unregister_hw() to handle the synchronization. This patch
takes the second option.

Fixes: 58e9683d1475 ("net: ieee802154: adf7242: Fix OCL calibration
runs")
