Hello

After the pool lock is released, the work item can be executed and be freed
before kasan_record_aux_stack() is called.  Is it Ok?

And I think queue_work() is allowed to be called with other raw_spin held.
If it is the case, kasan_record_aux_stack() is still in raw_spin held section.

Thanks
Lai
