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,
