When qedi_schedule_recovery_handler() is called, schedule_delayed_work() will finally start the work. In qedi_remove(), which is called to remove the driver, the following sequence may be observed: Fix this by finishing the work before cleanup in qedi_remove(). CPU0 CPU1 |qedi_recovery_handler qedi_remove | __qedi_remove | iscsi_host_free | scsi_host_put | //free shost | |iscsi_host_for_each_session |//use qedi->shost Cancel recovery_work and board_disable_work in __qedi_remove().
