[ Upstream commit e89df5c4322c1bf495f62d74745895b5fd2a4393 ] There is a race condition exist during termination. The path is alx_stop and then alx_remove. An alx_schedule_link_check could be called before alx_stop by interrupt handler and invoke alx_link_check later. Alx_stop frees the napis, and alx_remove cancels any pending works. If any of the work is scheduled before termination and invoked before alx_remove, a null-ptr-deref occurs because both expect alx->napis[i]. This patch fix the race condition by moving cancel_work_sync functions before alx_free_napis inside alx_stop. Because interrupt handler can call alx_schedule_link_check again, alx_free_irq is moved before cancel_work_sync calls too. Signed-off-by: Zekun Shen <bruceshenzk@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

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.
