The following debug object splat was observed in testing:
ODEBUG: free active (active state 0) object: 0000000097d23782 object type: work_struct hint: doe_statemachine_work+0x0/0x510
WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 71 at lib/debugobjects.c:514 debug_print_object+0x7d/0xb0
...
Workqueue: pci 0000:36:00.0 DOE [1 doe_statemachine_work
RIP: 0010:debug_print_object+0x7d/0xb0
...
Call Trace:
? debug_print_object+0x7d/0xb0
? __pfx_doe_statemachine_work+0x10/0x10
debug_object_free.part.0+0x11b/0x150
doe_statemachine_work+0x45e/0x510
process_one_work+0x1d4/0x3c0
This occurs because destroy_work_on_stack() was called after signaling
the completion in the calling thread. This creates a race between
destroy_work_on_stack() and the task->work struct going out of scope in
pci_doe().
Signal the work complete after destroying the work struct. This is safe
because signal_task_complete() is the final thing the work item does and
the workqueue code is careful not to access the work struct after.

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.
