Cancel the hrtimer before destroying the kthread\nworker to ensure work queues are empty.\n\nIn polling mode, the driver uses hrtimer to periodically trigger\nwave5_vpu_timer_callback() which queues work via kthread_queue_work().\nThe kthread_destroy_worker() function validates that both work queues\nare empty with WARN_ON(!list_empty(&worker->work_list)) and\nWARN_ON(!list_empty(&worker->delayed_work_list)).\n\nThe original code called kthread_destroy_worker() before hrtimer_cancel(),\ncreating a race condition where the timer could fire during worker\ndestruction and queue new work, triggering the WARN_ON.\n\nThis causes the following warning on every module unload in polling mode:\n\n  ------------[ cut here ]------------\n  WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 1034 at kernel/kthread.c:1430\n    kthread_destroy_worker+0x84/0x98\n  Modules linked in: wave5(-) rpmsg_ctrl rpmsg_char ...\n  Call trace:\n   kthread_destroy_worker+0x84/0x98\n   wave5_vpu_remove+0xc8/0xe0 [wave5]\n   platform_remove+0x30/0x58\n  ...\n  ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]---","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":5.5},"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0c2e752688a0ee3b89993e6de6c496d863870c93","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/156020e889edf4593870d926d3c4a6d06baac44a","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5a0c122e834b2f7f029526422c71be922960bf03","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/cc8071b1bac6568ea09d54be2d4f74dba80e17f8"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:33:55.586217763+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-43293","score":0.00122,"percentile":0.0195,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
