Hi,

Currently FR_PENDING doesn't mean the request is protected by fiq->lock. It
looks like this is your solution, so you need to clearly explain why you are
doing this.

It is unrelated to the queue's reference. I think you need to check whether the
AI's output is correct first.

Since you have a KASAN reproducer, please first describe how to trigger the
issue and what the symptoms are, as a prelude to the solution.
