Whenever an ipmi_user struct is about to be removed it is scheduled as a work on the system's workqueue to guarantee the free operation won't be executed in atomic context. When the work is executed the free_user_work() function is invoked which frees the ipmi_user. When ipmi_msghandler module is removed in cleanup_ipmi() function, there is no check if there are any pending works to be executed. Therefore, there is a potential race condition : An ipmi_user is scheduled for removal and shortly after to remove the ipmi_msghandler module. If the scheduled work delays execution for any reason and the module is removed first, then when the work is executed the pages of free_user_work() are gone and the system crashes with the following : BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffffffc05c3450 #PF: supervisor instruction fetch in kernel mode #PF: error_code(0x0010) - not-present page PGD 635420e067 P4D 635420e067 PUD 6354210067 PMD 4711e51067 PTE 0 Oops: 0010 [#1] SMP PTI CPU: 19 PID: 29646 Comm: kworker/19:1 Kdump: loaded Not tainted 5.4.0-77-generic #86~18.04.1-Ubuntu Hardware name: Ciara Technologies ORION RS610-G4-DTH4S/MR91-FS1-Y9, BIOS F29 05/23/2019 Workqueue: events 0xffffffffc05c3450 RIP: 0010:0xffffffffc05c3450 Code: Bad RIP value.

I could reproduce the issue only when turning the normal 'work' to delayed work. [WHERE PROBLEMS COULD OCCUR] The fixing patch creates a dedicated workqueue for the remove_work struct of ipmi_user when loading the ipmi_msghandler modules and destroys the workqueue when removing the module. Therefore any potential problems would occur during these two operations or when scheduling works on the dedicated workqueue.
