[ Upstream commit 9ad716b95fd6c6be46a4f2d5936e514b5bcd744d ] To avoid leaking a running timer we need to wait for the posted reconfigs after netdev is unregistered. In common case the process of deinitializing the device will perform synchronous reconfigs which wait for posted requests, but especially with VXLAN ports being actively added and removed there can be a race condition leaving a timer running after adapter structure is freed leading to a crash. Add an explicit flush after deregistering and for a good measure a warning to check if timer is running just before structures are freed.

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. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
