From 309731e95917125bbd13626a7a5600490a5bf44f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Runyu Xiao Date: Wed, 2 Sep 2026 23:40:04 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] Input: hp_sdc - shut down kicker timer on module exit hp_sdc_kicker() rearms hp_sdc.kicker with mod_timer() after scheduling the tasklet. The module exit path uses timer_delete_sync(). That waits for a callback already running but can still leave the timer rearmed. A callback can therefore leave the timer pending while hp_sdc_exit() tears down the driver, allowing timer activity to access dismantled driver state. Use timer_shutdown_sync() for final teardown. It waits for a running callback and prevents rearming after module exit begins.
