This three thread race can result in the work being run once the callback
becomes NULL:
CPU1 CPU2 CPU3
netevent_callback()
process_one_req() rdma_addr_cancel()
[..]
spin_lock_bh()
set_timeout()
spin_unlock_bh()
spin_lock_bh()
list_del_init(&req->list);
spin_unlock_bh()
req->callback = NULL
spin_lock_bh()
if (!list_empty(&req->list))
// Skipped!
// cancel_delayed_work(&req->work);
spin_unlock_bh()
process_one_req() // again
req->callback() // BOOM
cancel_delayed_work_sync()
The solution is to always cancel the work once it is completed so any
in between set_timeout() does not result in it running again.

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.
