How does the mainline manage to avoid the call of exfat_kill_sb(), which should call_rcu() delayed_free(), which calls exfat_free_upcase_table()? Could you verify that your reproducer does *NOT* hit that callchain? AFAICS, the only caller of exfat_load_upcase_table() is exfat_create_upcase_table(), called by __exfat_fill_super(), called by exfat_fill_super(), passed as callback to get_tree_bdev(). And if that's the case, ->kill_sb() should be called on failure and with non-NULL ->s_fs_info... Something odd is going on there.
