[PATCH 2/3] netfilter: IDLETIMER: fix race condition when destroy the target

From: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
Date: 2016-05-09 19:52:02
Also in: netfilter-devel
Subsystem: netfilter, networking [general], the rest · Maintainers: Pablo Neira Ayuso, Florian Westphal, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

From: Liping Zhang <redacted>

Workqueue maybe still in running while we destroy the IDLETIMER target,
thus cause a use after free error, add cancel_work_sync() to avoid such
situation.
