[ Upstream commit f22b1ba15e ]
The device's remove() attempts to shut down the delayed_work scheduled
on the kernel-global workqueue by calling flush_scheduled_work().
Unfortunately, flush_scheduled_work() does not prevent the delayed_work
from re-scheduling itself. The delayed_work might run after the device
has been removed, and touch the already de-allocated info structure.
This is a potential use-after-free.
Fix by calling cancel_delayed_work_sync() during remove(): this ensures
that the delayed work is properly cancelled, is no longer running, and
is not able to re-schedule itself.
This issue was detected with the help of Coccinelle.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
