This driver's probe() uses a mix of devm_ and non-devm_ functions. This means that the remove order will not be the exact opposite of the probe order. Remove order: 1. remove() executes: iio_device_unregister iio_triggered_buffer_cleanup iio_trigger_unregister (A) 2. core frees devm resources in reverse order: free_irq iio_trigger_free iio_device_free In (A) the trigger has been unregistered, but the irq handler is still registered and active, so the trigger may still be touched via interrupt -> as3935_event_work. This is a potential use-after-unregister. Given that the delayed work is never canceled explicitly, it may run even after iio_device_free. This is a potential use-after-free. Solution: convert all probe functions to their devm_ equivalents. Add a devm callback, called by the core on remove right after irq_free, which explicitly cancels the delayed work. This will guarantee that all resources are freed in the correct order. As an added bonus, some boilerplate code can be removed.

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.
