[PATCH net -v2] [BUGFIX] bonding: use flush_delayed_work_sync in bond_close

From: Mitsuo Hayasaka <hidden>
Date: 2011-10-19 08:12:43
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: bonding driver, networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Jay Vosburgh, Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

The bond_close() calls cancel_delayed_work() to cancel delayed works.
It, however, cannot cancel works that were already queued in workqueue.
The bond_open() initializes work->data, and proccess_one_work() refers
get_work_cwq(work)->wq->flags. The get_work_cwq() returns NULL when
work->data has been initialized. Thus, a panic occurs.

This patch uses flush_delayed_work_sync() instead of cancel_delayed_work()
in bond_close(). It cancels delayed timer and waits for work to finish
execution. So, it can avoid the null pointer dereference due to the
parallel executions of proccess_one_work() and initializing proccess
of bond_open().
