Subject: [PATCH] mac802154: Cancel scan work synchronously during hardware teardown
Date: Mon, 12 Oct 2026 17:39:34 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261012120934.64632-1-aryanarora.w1@gmail.com> (raw)
Scan cleanup uses cancel_delayed_work(), which does not wait for a
running scan worker. The worker can requeue itself after cancellation,
leaving an active delayed-work timer when the PHY allocation is freed.
Cancel scan work synchronously before destroying the workqueue.
Fixes: 57588c71177f ("mac802154: Handle passive scanning")
Reported-by: syzbot+19cbce4cc656ecd4febc@syzkaller.appspotmail.com
Closes: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=19cbce4cc656ecd4febc
Tested-by: syzbot+19cbce4cc656ecd4febc@syzkaller.appspotmail.com
