From acf673a3187edf72068ee2f92f4dc47d66baed47 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Miller Date: Thu, 17 Dec 2015 16:05:32 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] 6pack: Fix use after free in sixpack_close(). Need to do the unregister_device() after all references to the driver private have been done. Also we need to use del_timer_sync() for the timers so that we don't have any asynchronous references after the unregister. Signed-off-by: David S.
