Re: [BUG] KASAN: slab-use-after-free in is_free_buddy_page from megaraid_sas

[Shuangpeng Bai]

Hi,

I hit another KASAN report that may be related to this megaraid_sas
management ioctl lifetime issue. I have not confirmed that it has the same
root cause, but this report trips earlier in megasas_mgmt_ioctl_fw(), while
accessing instance->requestorId after megasas_lookup_instance().

The issue was reproduced by racing MEGASAS_IOC_FIRMWARE ioctls against
unbind/bind of the megaraid_sas PCI device.

KASAN: use-after-free in megasas_mgmt_ioctl_fw

I reproduced this on commit: e8c2f9fdadee7cbc75134dc463c1e0d856d6e5c7 (May 25 2026)

To help trigger the bug more reliably, we applied a minimal diagnostic patch
that only adds a delay.

The reproducer and .config files are here.

I'm happy to test debug patches or provide additional information.
