ring-buffer: Sync IRQ works before buffer destruction
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
If something was written to the buffer just before destruction,
it may be possible (maybe not in a real system, but it did
happen in ARCH=um with time-travel) to destroy the ringbuffer
before the IRQ work ran, leading this KASAN report (or a crash
without KASAN):

    BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in irq_work_run_list+0x11a/0x13a

    The buggy address belongs to the object at 000000006d640800
     which belongs to the cache kmalloc-1k of size 1024
    The buggy address is located 584 bytes inside of
     freed 1024-byte region [000000006d640800, 000000006d640c00)

Add the appropriate irq_work_sync() so the work finishes before
the buffers are destroyed.

Prior to the commit in the Fixes tag below, there was only a
single global IRQ work, so this issue didn't exist.
