misc: ti-st: st_kim: Fix use after free bug in kim_remove due to race…
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
… condition

In kim_probe, it called st_core_init and bound &st_gdata->work_write_wakeup
with work_fn_write_wakeup.
When it calls st_tty_wakeup, it will finally call schedule_work to start
the work.

When we call kim_remove to remove the driver, there
may be a sequence as follows:

Fix it by finishing the work before cleanup in kim_remove

CPU0                  CPU1

                    |work_fn_write_wakeup
kim_remove          |
  st_core_exit      |
     kfree(st_gdata)|
                    |st_tx_wakeup
                    |//use st_gdata

Fixes: b05b7c7 ("ti-st: use worker instead of calling st_int_write in wake up")
