Hi,

I am getting the OOPS in the SPI driver. In the driver, work queue (create_singlethread_workqueue) is used to transfer the data. When the SPI interface closed,that time below kernel OOPs is happening. I am assuming this is because of pending works.
So, I tried to cancel the pending work in the SPI close function by using the function cancel_delayed_work, but still not working.
Can anyone help me to solve this

Please find the log below.

The message says it is a NULL dereference error,
Check the arguments that are being passed to the create_singlethread_worqueue.

Thanks for your response.
Before the kernel OOPS, the large data has been transferred/received through SPI. Getting this OOPS when SPI interface is closed.
