5.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Fan Wu commit a7100601aa1a39f799a566acce10db20eaf4b7f2 upstream. c4iw_uld_state_change() queues reg_work to register the RDMA device. c4iw_remove() can free ctx->dev while this work is pending or running, leaving c4iw_register_device() accessing the freed device. Cancel reg_work before removing the device. The registration work can tear down ctx->dev when registration fails, so do not unregister or deallocate it again in that case. This issue was found by an in-house static analysis tool.
