So when dst_destroy() calls later :\n\nif (dst->ops->destroy)\n    dst->ops->destroy(dst);\n\ndst->ops points to the old net->xfrm.xfrm[46]_dst_ops, which has been freed.\n\nSee a relevant issue fixed in :\n\nac888d58869b (\"net: do not delay dst_entries_add() in dst_release()\")\n\nA fix is to queue the 'struct net' to be freed after one\nanother cleanup_net() round (and existing rcu_barrier())\n\n[1]\n\nBUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in dst_destroy (net/core/dst.c:112)\nRead of size 8 at addr ffff8882137ccab0 by task swapper/37/0\nDec 03 05:46:18 kernel:\nCPU: 37 UID: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/37 Kdump: loaded Not tainted 6.12.0 #67\nHardware name: Red Hat KVM/RHEL, BIOS 1.16.1-1.el9 04/01/2014\nCall Trace:\n <IRQ>\ndump_stack_lvl (lib/dump_stack.c:124)\nprint_address_description.constprop.0 (mm/kasan/report.c:378)\n?
