Hi, After beginning the release cycle of the 6.4 kernel I noted that when I reboot or turn off the computer the last message which I see is a use-after-free bug found by kasan sanitizer. Here is photo: https://ibb.co/1fxMYjt Below photo transcripted to text form: [ 87.946202] ================================================================== [ 87.946247] BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in tasklet_action_common.isra.0+0x6a4/0x7a0 [ 87.9462811 Read of size 8 at addr ffff8882b46a6a88 by task ksoftirqd/2/29 [ 87.946306] [ 87.946315] CPU: 2 PID: 29 Comm: ksoftirqd/2 Tainted: G W L ------- --- 6.4.0-0.rc5.20230606gitf8dba31b0a82.42.fc39.x86_64+debug #1 [ 87.946359] Hardware name: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd.

And this bug message is not recording in journalctl, because at the stage when this message appears journalctl was already offline. I used git bisect for trying to find the problem commit: And answered: - "good" when the computer was finishing work without the use-after-free message. - "bad" every time when I saw use-after-free bug message. - "skip" when the computer was stucking at the shutdown. And I got such bisect log: git bisect start # status: waiting for both good and bad commits # good: [173ea743bf7a9eef04460e03b00ba267cc52aee2] Merge tag 'pull-nios2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs git bisect good 173ea743bf7a9eef04460e03b00ba267cc52aee2 #
