The devlink parameter "acl_region_rehash_interval" is a runtime parameter whose value is stored in a dynamically allocated memory. While reloading the driver, this memory is freed and then allocated again. A use-after-free might happen if during this time frame someone tries to retrieve its value. Since commit070c63f20f("net: devlink: allow to change namespaces during reload") the use-after-free can be reliably triggered when reloading the driver into a namespace, as after freeing the memory (via reload_down() callback) all the parameters are notified. Fix this by unpublishing and then re-publishing the parameters during reload.

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.
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.
