usbnet: smsc95xx: Fix use-after-free after removal
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Syzbot reports an use-after-free in workqueue context:

BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in mutex_unlock+0x19/0x40 kernel/locking/mutex.c:737
 mutex_unlock+0x19/0x40 kernel/locking/mutex.c:737

 worker_thread+0xa8f/0x1430 kernel/workqueue.c:2420
 kthread+0x2df/0x300 kernel/kthread.c:255

It looks like that smsc95xx_unbind() is freeing the structures that are
still in use by the concurrently running workqueue callback. Thus switch
to using cancel_delayed_work_sync() to ensure the work callback really
is no longer active.
