Subject: [PATCH net 2/3] net: enc28j60: disable work before freeing the netdev
Date: Wed, 4 Nov 2026 14:32:44 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261104063245.23402-3-0xbeac@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261104063245.23402-1-0xbeac@gmail.com>
enc28j60_remove() unregisters the interface, frees the IRQ and frees the
netdev, but tx_work, setrx_work and restart_work can still be pending or
running. tx_work is queued from enc28j60_send_packet(), setrx_work from
enc28j60_set_multicast_list(), and restart_work from
enc28j60_tx_timeout(). The handlers access the private data, the SPI
device and the netdev, all of which are freed with the netdev.
Unregister the interface first so the xmit and set_rx_mode paths can no
longer queue work, then disable the three works synchronously before
freeing the IRQ and the netdev. disable_work_sync() drains a queued or
running instance and rejects a later queue_work(), which a plain
cancel_work_sync() would not.
Fixes: 3ec9c11da033 ("add driver for enc28j60 ethernet chip")
