As the endpoint is unregistered there might still be work pending to handle incoming messages, which will result in a use after free scenario. The plan is to remove the rx_worker, but until then (and for stable@) ensure that the work is stopped before the node is freed.

Thanks! Applied, and queued for 4.9+.
FWIW Dave handles the stable submission himself, so no need to CC stable on networking patches: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/networking/netdev-FAQ.html#q-i-see-a-...
