Why do you ignore stop_update for freeze?
This means new wq entries can be added during remove
causing use after free issues.

I think stop_update isn't needed, because the lock has already been handled internally by the APIs. Similar examples like mem_cgroup_css_free() in "mm/memcontrol.c", there is no such locks used for cancel_work_sync(&memcg->high_work).

Best,
Wei
