commit abac3ac97fe8734b620e7322a116450d7f90aa43 upstream.
Syzkaller got a lot of crashes like: KASAN: use-after-free Write in *_timers*
All of these crashes point to the same memory area:
The buggy address belongs to the object at ffff88801f870000 which belongs to the cache kmalloc-8k of size 8192 The buggy address is located 5320 bytes inside of 8192-byte region [ffff88801f870000, ffff88801f872000)
This area belongs to : batadv_priv->batadv_priv_dat->delayed_work->timer_list
The reason for these issues is the lack of synchronization. Delayed work (batadv_dat_purge) schedules new timer/work while the device is being deleted. As the result new timer/delayed work is set after cancel_delayed_work_sync() was called. So after the device is freed the timer list contains pointer to already freed memory.
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with syzkaller.
