In the commitfdeba99b1e("tipc: fix use-after-free in tipc_bcast_get_mode"), we're trying to make sure the tipc_net_finalize_work work item finished if it enqueued. But calling flush_scheduled_work() is not just affecting above work item but either any scheduled work. This has turned out to be overkill and caused to deadlock as syzbot reported: ====================================================== WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected 5.9.0-rc2-next-20200828-syzkaller #0 Not tainted ------------------------------------------------------ kworker/u4:6/349 is trying to acquire lock: ffff8880aa063d38 ((wq_completion)events){+.+.}-{0:0}, at: flush_workqueue+0xe1/0x13e0 kernel/workqueue.c:2777 but task is already holding lock: ffffffff8a879430 (pernet_ops_rwsem){++++}-{3:3}, at: cleanup_net+0x9b/0xb10 net/core/net_namespace.c:565 [...] Possible unsafe locking scenario: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- lock(pernet_ops_rwsem); lock(&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#13); lock(pernet_ops_rwsem); lock((wq_completion)events); *** DEADLOCK *** [...] v1: To fix the original issue, we replace above calling by introducing a bit flag. When a namespace cleaned-up, bit flag is set to zero and: - tipc_net_finalize functionial just does return immediately. - tipc_net_finalize_work does not enqueue into the scheduled work queue. v2: Use cancel_work_sync() helper to make sure ONLY the tipc_net_finalize_work() stopped before releasing bcbase object.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
