The above wording is confusing, do you mean "kfree_rcu does not exit
from "...?
kfree_rcu is called when the rcu grace period ends during the iteration,
UAF occurs when accessing head->next after the entry becomes free.
The loop runs with irq disabled, the RCU critical section extends over
it, uninterrupted.
Do you have a splat for the reported UAF?
This does not look the correct solution.
Thanks,
