    mISDN: hfcpci: Fix use-after-free bug in hfcpci_softirq · 175302f6
    Duoming Zhou authored
    The function hfcpci_softirq() is a timer handler. If it
    is running, the timer_pending() will return 0 and the
    del_timer_sync() in HFC_cleanup() will not be executed.
    As a result, the use-after-free bug will happen. The
    process is shown below:
    
        (cleanup routine)          |        (timer handler)
    HFC_cleanup()                  | hfcpci_softirq()
     if (timer_pending(&hfc_tl))   |
       del_timer_sync()            |
     ...                           | ...
     pci_unregister_driver(hc)     |
      driver_unregister            |  driver_for_each_device
       bus_remove_driver           |   _hfcpci_softirq
        driver_detach              |   ...
         put_device(dev) //[1]FREE |
                                   |    dev_get_drvdata(dev) //[2]USE
    
    The device is deallocated is position [1] and used in
    position [2].
    
    Fix by removing the "timer_pending" check in HFC_cleanup(),
    which makes sure that the hfcpci_softirq() have finished
    before the resource is deallocated.
