Yes, you are right, The presentational errors in order to obtain an understanding of the process.
Therefore, I will be happy to explain again the diagrammatic representation as shown below.

NO, It 's only depend on vold(scsi) release time.
If the vold later released and is being released first hcd,
Double free happened at <5> as below.
