In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: qedi: Fix use after free bug in qedi_remove()
In qedi_probe() we call __qedi_probe() which initializes
&qedi->recovery_work with qedi_recovery_handler() and
&qedi->board_disable_work with qedi_board_disable_work().
When qedi_schedule_recovery_handler() is called, schedule_delayed_work()
will finally start the work.
In qedi_remove(), which is called to remove the driver, the following
sequence may be observed:
Fix this by finishing the work before cleanup in qedi_remove().
