commit 594b27e677b35f9734b1969d175ebc6146741109 upstream.
Nothing prevents the following:
pvclock_gtod_notify() queue_work(system_long_wq, &pvclock_gtod_work); ... remove_module(kvm); ... work_queue_run() pvclock_gtod_work() <- UAF
Ditto for any other operation on that workqueue list head which touches pvclock_gtod_work after module removal.
Cancel the work in kvm_arch_exit() to prevent that.
