I don't see how this can trigger normally so I'm assuming
another case of use after free.

Yes, exactly.

I think this issue is related to the issue fixed by this patch merged some days ago upstream: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=a58da53ffd70294ebea8ecd0eb45fd0d74add9f9


I patched it. Please see:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220302075421.2131221-1-lee.jones@xxxxxxxxxx/T/#t


I'm not sure that patch is avoiding the issue. I'll reply to it.

Thanks,
Stefano
