For padata_free_shell to be called, I think there can't be any allocated pcrypt aead transforms (so that the alg refcount is low enough for crypto_del_alg to call padata_free_shell), but here cpu0 has called padata_do_parallel which implies it has such a transform. > There is a possibility of UAF after refcount_inc(&pd->refcnt). > > kasan report: > [158753.658839] ================================================================== > [158753.658851] BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in padata_find_next+0x2d6/0x3f0 > [158753.658868] Read of size 4 at addr ffff88812f8b8524 by task kworker/u158:0/988818 > [158753.658878] > [158753.658885] CPU: 23 UID: 0 PID: 988818 Comm: kworker/u158:0 Kdump: loaded Tainted: G W E 6.12.0-dirty #33 > [158753.658902] Tainted: [W]=WARN, [E]=UNSIGNED_MODULE > [158753.658907] Hardware name: VMware, Inc.

I think this is the same issue reported recently in this series: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20241123080509.2573987-1-chenridong@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/
