To avoid that, take write lock not read lock in free_handle to be synchronized with __release_z3fold_page(). For example KASAN can detect it: [ 33.723357] ================================================================== [ 33.723401] BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in LZ4_decompress_safe+0x2c4/0x3b8 [ 33.723418] Read of size 1 at addr ffffffc976695ca3 by task GoogleApiHandle/4121 [ 33.723428] [ 33.723449] CPU: 0 PID: 4121 Comm: GoogleApiHandle Tainted: P S OE 4.19.81-perf+ #162 [ 33.723461] Hardware name: Sony Mobile Communications.
