In renesas_usb3_probe, &usb3->role_work is bound with renesas_usb3_role_work. renesas_usb3_start will be called to start the work. If we remove the module which will call renesas_usb3_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 renesas_usb3_remove CPU0 CPUc1 |renesas_usb3_role_work renesas_usb3_remove | usb_role_switch_unregister | device_unregister | kfree(sw); | free usb3->role_sw | | usb_role_switch_set_role | //use usb3->role_sw Fixes: 39facfa01c9f ("usb: gadget: udc: renesas_usb3: Add register of usb role switch") Signed-off-by: Zheng Wang <zyytlz.wz@xxxxxxx> --- drivers/usb/gadget/udc/renesas_usb3.c | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) diff --git a/drivers/usb/gadget/udc/renesas_usb3.c b/drivers/usb/gadget/udc/renesas_usb3.c index bee6bceafc4f..23b5f1706d25 100644 --- a/drivers/usb/gadget/udc/renesas_usb3.c +++ b/drivers/usb/gadget/udc/renesas_usb3.c @@ -2658,6 +2658,8 @@ static int renesas_usb3_remove(struct platform_device *pdev) { struct renesas_usb3 *usb3 = platform_get_drvdata(pdev); + cancel_work_sync(&usb3->extcon_work); + cancel_work_sync(&usb3->role_work); debugfs_remove_recursive(usb3->dentry); device_remove_file(&pdev->dev, &dev_attr_role); -- 2.25.1
