Subject: [PATCH v5] usb: gadget: udc: renesas_usb3: Fix use after free bug in renesas_usb3_remove due to race condition

In renesas_usb3_probe, &usb3->role_work is bound with
renesas_usb3_role_work. renesas_usb3_start will be called
to start the work.

If we remove the driver which will call usbhs_remove, there may be
an unfinished work. The possible sequence is as follows:

Fix it by canceling the work before cleanup in the renesas_usb3_remove.

CPU0 CPU1

|renesas_usb3_role_work
renesas_usb3_remove |
usb_role_switch_unregister |
device_unregister |
kfree(sw) |
free usb3->role_sw |
| usb_role_switch_set_role
| //use usb3->role_sw

You have a full 72 columns to write in, please use them :)

Why can't this be written so it looks better:

CPU0 CPU1

| renesas_usb3_role_work
renesas_usb3_remove |
usb_role_switch_unregister |
device_unregister |
kfree(sw) |
free usb3->role_sw |
| usb_role_switch_set_role
| // use usb3->role_sw

Note that removing a driver is a root-only operation, and should never
happen so please also say that.

thanks,
