I am quite confuse about why you think when we cancel the work before
its execution,
the reference can not be hold ?
Perhaps the following diagram can describe the problem in better way :
smc_close_cancel_work
smc_cdc_msg_recv_action
sock_hold
queue_work
if
(cancel_work_sync()) // successfully cancel before execution
sock_put() // need to put it since we already
hold a ref before queue_work()
