Zheng Wang 697f92f831 scsi: message: mptlan: Fix use after free bug in mptlan_remove() due to race condition
[ Upstream commit f486893288f3e9b171b836f43853a6426515d800 ]

mptlan_probe() calls mpt_register_lan_device() which initializes the
&priv->post_buckets_task workqueue. A call to
mpt_lan_wake_post_buckets_task() will subsequently start the work.

During driver unload in mptlan_remove() the following race may occur:

CPU0                  CPU1

                    |mpt_lan_post_receive_buckets_work()
mptlan_remove()     |
  free_netdev()     |
    kfree(dev);     |
                    |
                    | dev->mtu
                    |   //use

Fix this by finishing the work prior to cleaning up in mptlan_remove().

[mkp: we really should remove mptlan instead of attempting to fix it]

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
