[ Upstream commit ef27324e2cb7bb24542d6cb2571740eefe6b00dc ]
Our detector found a concurrent use-after-free bug when detaching an NCI device. The main reason for this bug is the unexpected scheduling between the used delayed mechanism (timer and workqueue).
The race can be demonstrated below:
Thread-1 Thread-2 | nci_dev_up() | nci_open_device() | __nci_request(nci_reset_req) | nci_send_cmd | queue_work(cmd_work) nci_unregister_device() | nci_close_device() | ... del_timer_sync(cmd_timer)[1] | ... | Worker nci_free_device() | nci_cmd_work() kfree(ndev)[3] | mod_timer(cmd_timer)[2]
In short, the cleanup routine thought that the cmd_timer has already been detached by [1] but the mod_timer can re-attach the timer [2], even it is already released [3], resulting in UAF.
This UAF is easy to trigger, crash trace by POC is like below

To fix the UAF, this patch adds flush_workqueue() to ensure the nci_cmd_work is finished before the following del_timer_sync. This combination will promise the timer is actually detached.
