Zheng Wang 0a73c8b3cc hwmon: (xgene) Fix use after free bug in xgene_hwmon_remove due to race condition
[ Upstream commit cb090e64cf25602b9adaf32d5dfc9c8bec493cd1 ]

In xgene_hwmon_probe, &ctx->workq is bound with xgene_hwmon_evt_work.
Then it will be started.

If we remove the driver which will call xgene_hwmon_remove to clean up,
there may be unfinished work.

The possible sequence is as follows:

Fix it by finishing the work before cleanup in xgene_hwmon_remove.

CPU0                  CPU1

                    |xgene_hwmon_evt_work
xgene_hwmon_remove   |
kfifo_free(&ctx->async_msg_fifo);|
                    |
                    |kfifo_out_spinlocked
                    |//use &ctx->async_msg_fifo

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

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.
