In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

rcu/rcuscale: Stop kfree_scale_thread thread(s) after unloading rcuscale

Running the 'kfree_rcu_test' test case [1] results in a splat [2].
The root cause is the kfree_scale_thread thread(s) continue running
after unloading the rcuscale module.  This commit fixes that isue by
invoking kfree_scale_cleanup() from rcu_scale_cleanup() when removing
the rcuscale module.

[1] modprobe rcuscale kfree_rcu_test=1
    // After some time
    rmmod rcuscale
    rmmod torture
