Hmm sorry yes I forgot to mention this. I was counting on the private_data already being null to prevent any new work being actually scheduled, so an incoming restore state, for example, would be a nop.
Yes, the same applies for the "synchronous" requests, but that's a preexisting issue.
Per the above I also assumed sync requests were also safe as is. But I can certainly re-order things, how about: mos7720_release(): mos_parport->pp->private_data = NULL; parport_remove_port(mos_parport->pp); wait_for_completion_timeout(); cancel_work_sync(); usb_set_serial_data(serial, NULL); mos_parport->serial = NULL; parport_del_port(mos_parport->pp); kref_put(); Thanks, Davidlohr
