Another thing I saw is

        del_timer(&bla->timer);
        ....
        kfree(&bla);

In one case I saw the following:

        if (isac->dch.timer.function != NULL) {
                del_timer(&isac->dch.timer);
                isac->dch.timer.function = NULL;
        }
        kfree(isac->mon_rx);
        isac->mon_rx = NULL;

Is the assignment isac->dch.timer.function = NULL good enough to solve
the problem?

No. It might lead to a NULL dereference when the other core wants
to call the callback. Same situation as in the other picture.

Thanks,
