Callbacks for a cmd reply run outside the protection of card->lock, to allow for additional cmds to be issued & enqueued in parallel. When qeth_send_control_data() bails out for a cmd without having received a reply (eg. due to timeout), its callback may concurrently be processing a reply that just arrived. In this case, the callback potentially accesses a stale reply->reply_param area that eg. was on-stack and has already been released. To avoid this race, add some locking so that qeth_send_control_data() can (1) wait for a concurrently running callback, and (2) zap any pending callback that still wants to run.

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.
