During the detaching of Marvell's SAS/SATA controller, the original code
calls cancel_delayed_work() in mvs_free() to cancel the delayed work
item mwq->work_q. However, if mwq->work_q is already running, the
cancel_delayed_work() may fail to cancel it. This can lead to
use-after-free scenarios where mvs_free() frees the mvs_info while
mvs_work_queue() is still executing and attempts to access the
already-freed mvs_info.
A typical race condition is illustrated below:
CPU 0 (remove) | CPU 1 (delayed work callback)
mvs_pci_remove() |
mvs_free() | mvs_work_queue()
cancel_delayed_work() |
kfree(mvi) |
| mvi-> // UAF
Replace cancel_delayed_work() with cancel_delayed_work_sync() to ensure
that the delayed work item is properly canceled and any executing
delayed work item completes before the mvs_info is deallocated.
