1). In the link [1],

" infiniband syz2: set down "

This means that on 839.350575, the event ib_cache_event_task was sent andi queued in ib_wq.

2). In the link [1],

" team0 (unregistering): Port device team_slave_0 removed "

It indicates that before 843.251853, the net device should be freed.

3). In the link [1],

" BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in dev_get_flags+0x188/0x1d0 "

This means that on 850.559070, this slab-use-after-free problem occurred.

In all, on 839.350575, the event ib_cache_event_task was sent and queued in ib_wq,

before 843.251853, the net device veth was freed.

on 850.559070, this event was executed, and the mentioned freed net device was called. Thus, the above call trace occurred.
