[BUG] KASAN: slab-use-after-free in __mptctl_ioctl

[Shuangpeng Bai <shuangpeng.kernel@gmail.com>]

Hi Kernel Maintainers,

I hit the following report while testing current upstream kernel:

KASAN: slab-use-after-free in __mptctl_ioctl

on commit: e8c2f9fdadee7cbc75134dc463c1e0d856d6e5c7 (May 25 2026)

To help trigger the bug more reliably, we applied a minimal diagnostic patch
that only adds delays and print statements.

The reproducer and .config files are here.
https://gist.github.com/shuangpengbai/f6aa77a9c6e552b7ff7e79b39286ed45

I'm happy to test debug patches or provide additional information.
