virtio-net uses a boolean to gate rx_mode_work during device teardown.
The flag is changed under RTNL, but ndo_set_rx_mode checks it under the
address-list lock. A callback can therefore pass the check and enqueue work
after teardown has flushed it. The work is also enabled before late
probe operations that can fail, allowing probe unwind to free the netdev
with work still queued.
KASAN reports the worker using a virtqueue that probe unwind already freed:
BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in virtqueue_add_split
Workqueue: events virtnet_rx_mode_work

virtnet_probe (drivers/net/virtio_net.c:7129)
Use the workqueue disable mechanism to atomically reject new queue attempts
and drain running work. Keep work disabled until probe succeeds or restore
has reattached the netdev, then enable it and replay receive-mode state for
a running interface. Disable it before resource teardown in freeze and
remove.
