In saa7134_initdev, it will call saa7134_hwinit1. There are three function invoking here: saa7134_video_init1, saa7134_ts_init1 and saa7134_vbi_init1. All of them will init a timer with same function. Take saa7134_video_init1 as an example. It'll bound &dev->video_q.timeout with saa7134_buffer_timeout. In buffer_activate, the timer funtcion is started. If we remove the module or device which will call saa7134_finidev to make cleanup, there may be a unfinished work. The possible sequence is as follows, which will cause a typical UAF bug. Fix it by canceling the timer works accordingly before cleanup in saa7134_finidev.

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.
