What is the purpose of the new synchronize_rcu() call?
Thanks for your reply.
Yes, I add new synchronize_rcu() call is to wait until *h is no longer in use. If free
"h" right now , mybe lead to UAF.
If its purpose is
to wait until *h is no longer in use, please use kfree_rcu() instead.
struct rdac_dh_data {
         struct list_head        node;
         .....
}
As rdac_dh_data.node type is "struct list_head", but  kfree_rcu the first parameter type is
"struct rcu_head". So we can only use synchronize_rcu() at here.

Ah, that's right. Hence:
