Hi,

This is regarding the subj patch:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=203573
https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-bcache/msg07474.html
(don't see a way to reply to the patch)

This looks like a serious bug that would have been caught by
use-after-scope mode in KASAN given any coverage of the involved code
(i.e. any tests that executes the function once) if I am reading this
correctly.
But use-after-scope detection was removed in:
7771bdbbfd3d kasan: remove use after scope bugs detection.
because it does not catch enough bugs.
Hard to say if this bug is enough rationale to bring use-after-scope
back, but it is a data point. FWIW this bug would have been detected
during patch testing with no debugging required.
