[BUG] KASAN: slab-use-after-free in is_free_buddy_page from megaraid_sas

[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 is_free_buddy_page from megaraid_sas

I reproduced this on commit: e8c2f9fdadee7cbc75134dc463c1e0d856d6e5c7 (May 25 2026)

The reproducer and .config files are here.

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