The flower_stats_timer can schedule flower_stats_work and
flower_stats_work can also arm the flower_stats_timer. The
process is shown below:
----------- timer schedules work ------------
ch_flower_stats_cb() //timer handler
schedule_work(&adap->flower_stats_work);
----------- work arms timer ------------
ch_flower_stats_handler() //workqueue callback function
mod_timer(&adap->flower_stats_timer, ...);
When the cxgb4 device is detaching, the timer and workqueue
could still be rearmed. The process is shown below:
(cleanup routine) | (timer and workqueue routine)
remove_one() |
free_some_resources() | ch_flower_stats_cb() //timer
cxgb4_cleanup_tc_flower() | schedule_work()
del_timer_sync() |
| ch_flower_stats_handler() //workqueue
| mod_timer()
cancel_work_sync() |
kfree(adapter) //FREE | ch_flower_stats_cb() //timer
| adap->flower_stats_work //USE
This patch changes del_timer_sync() to timer_shutdown_sync(),
which could prevent rearming of the timer from the workqueue.

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.
