Race condition is observed during rmmod of mwifiex_usb: 1. The rmmod thread will call mwifiex_usb_disconnect(), download SHUTDOWN command and do wait_event_interruptible_timeout(), waiting for response. 2. The main thread will handle the response and will do a wake_up_interruptible(), unblocking rmmod thread. 3. On getting unblocked, rmmod thread will make rx_cmd.urb = NULL in mwifiex_usb_free(). 4. The main thread will try to resubmit rx_cmd.urb in mwifiex_usb_submit_rx_urb(), which is NULL. To fix this, move mwifiex_usb_free() from mwifiex_usb_disconnect to mwifiex_unregister_dev(). Function mwifiex_unregister_dev() is called after flushing the command and RX work queues.

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.
