So according to my debug messages, I think this should workaround the
problem:
--- a/drivers/net/usb/r8152.c
+++ b/drivers/net/usb/r8152.c
@@ -3962,7 +3962,8 @@ static int rtl8152_close(struct net_device *netdev)
#ifdef CONFIG_PM_SLEEP
unregister_pm_notifier(&tp->pm_notifier);
#endif
- napi_disable(&tp->napi);
+ if (!test_bit(RTL8152_UNPLUG, &tp->flags))
+ napi_disable(&tp->napi);
clear_bit(WORK_ENABLE, &tp->flags);
usb_kill_urb(tp->intr_urb);
cancel_delayed_work_sync(&tp->schedule);
napi is deleted in usb->disconnect, then unregister_netdev is called
which invokes netdev->ndo_stop, i.e. rtl8152_close above. And
rtl8152_close tries to napi_disable, but that is already deleted.
The patch does not solve the race between disconnect and ndo_stop
AFAICS. It needs locking, IMO. I am not familiar enough with the code,
but it looks like ->disconnect can happen any time while ->stop is in
progress.
thanks,
