We have tested the both proposed patches, from Eric and Jiayuan,
and our reproducer did not trigger any issue.

It seems that Eric's patch is sufficient to address the reported use-after-free.
However, we are not sure whether the additional state check proposed by
Jiayuan is also necessary.

Thanks!

Best Regards,
Eulgyu Kim
