If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ---8<------------------------------------------------------------ From: Takashi Iwai commit 0b8c82190c12e530eb6003720dac103bf63e146e upstream. The commit [991f86d7ae4e: ALSA: hda - Flush the pending probe work at remove] introduced the sync of async probe work at remove for fixing the race. However, this may lead to another hangup when the module removal is performed quickly before starting the probe work, because it issues flush_work() and it's blocked forever. The workaround is to use cancel_work_sync() instead of flush_work() there.
