Subject: [PATCH RESEND] tipc: fix RCU dereference race in tipc_aead_users_dec()
Date: Tue,  3 Feb 2026 09:56:21 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260203145621.17399-1-git@danielhodges.dev> (raw)

From: Daniel Hodges <hodgesd@meta.com>

tipc_aead_users_dec() calls rcu_dereference(aead) twice: once to store
in 'tmp' for the NULL check, and again inside the atomic_add_unless()
call.

Use the already-dereferenced 'tmp' pointer consistently, matching the
correct pattern used in tipc_aead_users_inc() and tipc_aead_users_set().

Fixes: fc1b6d6de220 ("tipc: introduce TIPC encryption & authentication")
