Subject: ipvs: flush defense_work before module unload
From: Oleg Nesterov <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
net/ipv4/ipvs/ip_vs_core.c
module_exit
ip_vs_cleanup
ip_vs_control_cleanup
cancel_rearming_delayed_work
// done
This is unsafe. The module may be unloaded and the memory may be freed
while defense_work's handler is still running/preempted.
Do flush_work(&defense_work.work) after cancel_rearming_delayed_work().
Alternatively, we could add flush_work() to cancel_rearming_delayed_work(),
but note that we can't change cancel_delayed_work() in the same manner
because it may be called from atomic context.
akpm: depends on lots of -mm-only goop.
