From 2a7b29c5f267c143e280c1a5174a0d930bd6c1e3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bhanu Prakash Gollapudi Date: Mon, 23 Jan 2012 18:00:46 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] [SCSI] bnx2fc: fix panic in bnx2fc_post_io_req System panics while accessing stale pointer - timer_work_queue - in the IO path before bnx2fc_stop is called. Fix is to destroy the workqueue after the destroy operation is complete.
