From 0571a753cb07982cc82f4a5115e0b321da89e1f3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pavel Andrianov Date: Wed, 10 Mar 2021 11:10:46 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] net: pxa168_eth: Fix a potential data race in pxa168_eth_remove pxa168_eth_remove() firstly calls unregister_netdev(), then cancels a timeout work. unregister_netdev() shuts down a device interface and removes it from the kernel tables. If the timeout occurs in parallel, the timeout work (pxa168_eth_tx_timeout_task) performs stop and open of the device. It may lead to an inconsistent state and memory leaks.
