commit abac3ac97fe8734b620e7322a116450d7f90aa43 upstream.
Syzkaller got a lot of crashes like:
KASAN: use-after-free Write in *_timers*
All of these crashes point to the same memory area:
The buggy address belongs to the object at ffff88801f870000
which belongs to the cache kmalloc-8k of size 8192
The buggy address is located 5320 bytes inside of
8192-byte region [ffff88801f870000, ffff88801f872000)
This area belongs to :
batadv_priv->batadv_priv_dat->delayed_work->timer_list
The reason for these issues is the lack of synchronization. Delayed
work (batadv_dat_purge) schedules new timer/work while the device
is being deleted. As the result new timer/delayed work is set after
cancel_delayed_work_sync() was called. So after the device is freed
the timer list contains pointer to already freed memory.

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.
