If the timer handler hfcpci_Timer() is running, the
del_timer(&hc->hw.timer) in release_io_hfcpci() could
not stop it. As a result, the use-after-free bug will
happen. The process is shown below:
(cleanup routine) | (timer handler)
release_card() | hfcpci_Timer()
release_io_hfcpci |
del_timer(&hc->hw.timer) |
... | ...
kfree(hc) //[1]FREE |
| hc->hw.timer.expires //[2]USE
The hfc_pci is deallocated in position [1] and used in
position [2].
Fix by changing del_timer() in release_io_hfcpci() to
del_timer_sync(), which makes sure the hfcpci_Timer()
have finished before the hfc_pci is deallocated.

Nice, how did you test that this will work properly? Do you have this
hardware for testing? How was this issue found and verified that this
is the correct resolution?

According to his previous response [1], the answer will be no. I'm not
super-excited that this unmaintained and old driver chosen as playground
for new tool.

I am trying to simulate the hardware to verified that this is the correct
resolution. I will give feedback in a few weeks later.
