Cited commit added 'DEVLINK_CMD_PARAM_DEL' notifications whenever the network namespace of the devlink instance is changed. Specifically, the notifications are generated after calling reload_down(), but before calling reload_up(). At this stage, the data structures accessed while reading the value of the "acl_region_rehash_interval" devlink parameter are uninitialized, resulting in a use-after-free [1]. Fix by moving the registration and unregistration of the devlink parameter to the TCAM code where it is actually used. This means that the parameter is unregistered during reload_down() and then re-registered during reload_up(), avoiding the use-after-free between these two operations.

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.
