1). In the link [1],

"
 infiniband syz2: set down
"

This means that on 839.350575, the event ib_cache_event_task was sent andi
queued in ib_wq.

2). In the link [1],

"
 team0 (unregistering): Port device team_slave_0 removed
"

It indicates that before 843.251853, the net device should be freed.

3). In the link [1],

"
 BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in dev_get_flags+0x188/0x1d0
"

This means that on 850.559070, this slab-use-after-free problem occurred.

In all, on 839.350575, the event ib_cache_event_task was sent and queued
in ib_wq,

before 843.251853, the net device veth was freed.

on 850.559070, this event was executed, and the mentioned freed net device
was called. Thus, the above call trace occurred.

CWE-416 Use After Free

The product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. At some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.
