Subject[PATCH 2/2] e1000: fix possible reset_task running after adapter down
Date
On e1000_down(), we should ensure every asynchronous work is canceled
before proceeding. Since the watchdog_task can schedule other works
apart from itself, it should be stopped first, but currently it is
stopped after the reset_task. This can result in the following race
leading to the reset_task running after the module unload:

e1000_down_and_stop(): e1000_watchdog():
---------------------- -----------------

cancel_work_sync(reset_task)
schedule_work(reset_task)
cancel_delayed_work_sync(watchdog_task)

The patch moves cancel_delayed_work_sync(watchdog_task) at the beginning
of e1000_down_and_stop() thus ensuring the race is impossible.
