Hi Pavel, We had been running syzkaller on v5.10.y and a "use after free" is being reported for v5.10.43+ kernels.

first bad commit: [0b2a990e5d2f76d020cb840c456e6ec5f0c27530] io_uring: fix link timeout refs The mainline commit for the bad LTS commit is: a298232ee6b9 ("io_uring: fix link timeout refs") and I have tested the reproducer on mainline with 'a298232ee6b9' as HEAD and the issue is not reproduced. I think we are missing some change in v5.10.y kernel which was missed while the mainline fix was backported to LTS. I can reproduce the crash using syzkaller and will be happy to test any patch for this. -- Regards Sudip
