[PATCH 2/2] rtl818x: Kill URBs before clearing tx status queue

From: Daniil Dulov
Date: Mon Jun 16 2025 - 06:27:45 EST


In rtl8187_stop() move the call of usb_kill_anchored_urbs() before clearing
b_tx_status.queue. This change prevents callbacks from using already freed
skb due to anchor was not killed before freeing such skb.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
