In xirc2ps_probe, the local->tx_timeout_task was bounded with xirc2ps_tx_timeout_task. When timeout occurs, it will call xirc_tx_timeout->schedule_work to start the work. When we call xirc2ps_detach to remove the driver, there may be a sequence as follows: Stop responding to timeout tasks and complete scheduled tasks before cleanup in xirc2ps_detach, which will fix the problem.

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.
