If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 5202a7f9fe9e741851523815c8f30ec706c123d1 Author: Vincent Whitchurch <vincent.whitchurch@xxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Dec 10 17:09:51 2021 +0100 rtc: fix use-after-free on device removal [ Upstream commit c8fa17d9f08a448184f03d352145099b5beb618e ] If the irqwork is still scheduled or running while the RTC device is removed, a use-after-free occurs in rtc_timer_do_work(). Cleanup the timerqueue and ensure the work is stopped to fix this.
