That will trigger the UAF bug. ================================================================== BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in rsi_tx_scheduler_thread+0x50f/0x520 [rsi_91x] Read of size 8 at addr ffff8880076dc000 by task Tx-Thread/124777 CPU: 0 PID: 124777 Comm: Tx-Thread Not tainted 5.15.0-rc5+ #19 Call Trace: dump_stack_lvl+0xe2/0x152 print_address_description.constprop.0+0x21/0x140 ? rsi_tx_scheduler_thread+0x50f/0x520 kasan_report.cold+0x7f/0x11b ? rsi_tx_scheduler_thread+0x50f/0x520 rsi_tx_scheduler_thread+0x50f/0x520 ...
