[PATCH for-rc 5/6] RDMA/bnxt_re: Fix system crash during load/unload

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



During driver unload, the driver proceeds with cleanup
without waiting for the scheduled events. So the device
pointers get freed up and driver crashes when the events
are scheduled later.

Flush the bnxt_re_task work queue before starting
device removal.
