6.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Duoming Zhou <duoming@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 573601521277119f2e2ba5f28ae6e87fc594f4d4 ] When the cpu5wdt module is removing, the origin code uses del_timer() to de-activate the timer. If the timer handler is running, del_timer() could not stop it and will return directly. If the port region is released by release_region() and then the timer handler cpu5wdt_trigger() calls outb() to write into the region that is released, the use-after-free bug will happen. Change del_timer() to timer_shutdown_sync() in order that the timer handler could be finished before the port region is released.
