has been resolved:\n\nnfc: nci: Fix race between rfkill and nci_unregister_device().\n\nsyzbot reported the splat below [0] without a repro.\n\nIt indicates that struct nci_dev.cmd_wq had been destroyed before\nnci_close_device() was called via rfkill.\n\nnci_dev.cmd_wq is only destroyed in nci_unregister_device(), which\n(I think) was called from virtual_ncidev_close() when syzbot close()d\nan fd of virtual_ncidev.\n\nThe problem is that nci_unregister_device() destroys nci_dev.cmd_wq\nfirst and then calls nfc_unregister_device(), which removes the\ndevice from rfkill by rfkill_unregister().\n\nSo, the device is still visible via rfkill even after nci_dev.cmd_wq\nis destroyed.\n\nLet's unregister the device from rfkill first in nci_unregister_device().\n\nNote that we cannot call nfc_unregister_device() before\nnci_close_device() because\n\n 1) nfc_unregister_device() calls device_del() which frees\n all memory allocated by devm_kzalloc() and linked to\n ndev->conn_info_list\n\n 2) nci_rx_work() could try to queue nci_conn_info to\n ndev->conn_info_list which could be leaked\n\nThus, nfc_unregister_device() is split into two functions so we\ncan remove rfkill interfaces only before nci_close_device().\n\n[0]:\nDEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(1)\nWARNING: kernel/locking/lockdep.c:238 at hlock_class kernel/locking/lockdep.c:238 [inline], CPU#0:
