In da9150_charger_probe, &charger->otg_work is bound with da9150_charger_otg_work. da9150_charger_otg_ncb may be called to start the work. If we remove the module which will call da9150_charger_remove to make cleanup, there may be a unfinished work. The possible sequence is as follows: Fix it by canceling the work before cleanup in the da9150_charger_remove CPU0 CPUc1 |da9150_charger_otg_work da9150_charger_remove | power_supply_unregister | device_unregister | power_supply_dev_release| kfree(psy) | | | power_supply_changed(charger->usb); | //use Fixes: c1a281e34dae ("power: Add support for DA9150 Charger") Signed-off-by: Zheng Wang <zyytlz.wz@xxxxxxx> --- v2: - fix wrong description in commit message and mov cancel_work_sync after usb_unregister_notifier suggested by Sebastian Reichel --- drivers/power/supply/da9150-charger.c | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) diff --git a/drivers/power/supply/da9150-charger.c b/drivers/power/supply/da9150-charger.c index 14da5c595dd9..a87aeaea38e1 100644 --- a/drivers/power/supply/da9150-charger.c +++ b/drivers/power/supply/da9150-charger.c @@ -657,6 +657,7 @@ static int da9150_charger_remove(struct platform_device *pdev) if (!IS_ERR_OR_NULL(charger->usb_phy)) usb_unregister_notifier(charger->usb_phy, &charger->otg_nb); + cancel_work_sync(&charger->otg_work); power_supply_unregister(charger->battery); power_supply_unregister(charger->usb); -- 2.25.1
