In fs_counters elements from both addlist and dellist are removed by
mlx5_fc_stats_work() without any locking. This introduces race condition
when batch of new rules is created and then immediately deleted (for
example, when error occurred during flow creation). In such case some of
the rules might be in dellist, but not in addlist when mlx5_fc_stats_work()
is executed concurrently with tc, which will result rule deletion and
use-after-free on next iteration because deleted rules are still in
addlist.
Always take dellist first to guarantee that rules can only be deleted after
they were removed from addlist.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
