I'm sorry for not noticing the above earlier, but it looks like this is
not enough. At this point local_release() may kick in and free 'local':
the caller will experience UaF.
You could acquire a reference here and let the caller release it.
If the above race is not possible due to some other safeguards, it
should at least be documented clearly here.
Thanks,
Paolo
