In emac_probe, &adpt->work_thread is bound with emac_work_thread. Then it will be started by timeout handler emac_tx_timeout or a IRQ handler emac_isr. If we remove the driver which will call emac_remove to make cleanup, there may be a unfinished work. The possible sequence is as follows: Fix it by finishing the work before cleanup in the emac_remove and disable timeout response.

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.
