In line 2884, "raid5_release_stripe(sh);" drops the reference to sh and
may cause sh to be released. However, sh is subsequently used in lines
2886 "if (sh->batch_head && sh != sh->batch_head)". This may result in an
use-after-free bug.

It can be fixed by moving "raid5_release_stripe(sh);" to the bottom of
the function.

The bug has been confirmed by Song on 2021-08-14. Now, I resend this
patch with my real name. I hope the patch can be updated in a near
future.

I removed this paragraph while applying the patch, as it doesn't belong to
the commit log. In the future you can put it after a "---", so it will
be dropped
automatically by git-am. In other words, use something like:

Applied to md-next. Thanks for the fix.
