Hi Catalin,

Thanks for sending this my way. Note: to my knowledge, Ard doesn't
work on wireguard.

The line of hlist_add_head that it's hitting is:
static inline void hlist_add_head(struct hlist_node *n, struct hlist_head *h)
{
struct hlist_node *first = h->first;
WRITE_ONCE(n->next, first);
if (first)
So that means it's the dereferencing of h that's a problem. That comes from:
static void enqueue_timer(struct timer_base *base, struct timer_list *timer,
unsigned int idx, unsigned long bucket_expiry)
{
hlist_add_head(&timer->entry, base->vectors + idx);
That means it concerns base->vectors + idx, not the timer_list object
that wireguard manages. That's confusing. Could that imply that the
bug is in freeing a previous timer without removing it from the timer
lists, so that it winds up being in base->vectors?
The allocation and deallocation backtrace is confusing

This suggests it's part of the `ip link add wg0 type wireguard` nelink
call, during it's allocation of the netdevice's private area. For
this, the wg_device struct is used. It has no timer_list structures in
it!
Similarly,

That smells like `ip link del wg0 type wireguard`. But again,
wg_device doesn't have any timer_lists in it.
So what's happening here exactly? I'm not really sure yet...
It'd be nice to have a reproducer.
Jason
