With BPF struct_ops\ncongestion control, ca_ops can point to dynamically allocated memory\nthat is freed concurrently, resulting in a use-after-free when the\nkernel dereferences or calls through the stale pointer.\n\n  BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in do_tcp_getsockopt+0x2037/0x23e0\n  Read of size 8 at addr ffff888013701258 by task exploit/149\n   do_tcp_getsockopt+0x2037/0x23e0 (net/ipv4/tcp.c:4564)\n   tcp_getsockopt+0x91/0xf0\n   __sys_getsockopt+0xf7/0x170\n\nFix this by wrapping the ca_ops load and get_info call within\nrcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock(), and using READ_ONCE() to load\nthe icsk_ca_ops pointer."
