Hello: This patch was applied to netdev/net.git (main) by Paolo Abeni [off-list ref]: On Tue, 23 Sep 2025 14:19:11 +0300 you wrote:
This code calls kfree_rcu(new_node, rcu) and then dereferences "new_node"
and then dereferences it on the next line. Two lines later, we take
a mutex so I don't think this is an RCU safe region. Re-order it to do
the dereferences before queuing up the free.
Fixes: 68fbff68dbea ("octeontx2-pf: Add police action for TC flower")
