Small point :

+	if (unlikely(time_after_eq(jiffy, tcp_secret_generating->expires))) {
+		spin_lock_bh(&tcp_secret_locker);
+		if (!time_after_eq(jiffy, tcp_secret_generating->expires)) {
+			/* refreshed by another */
+			spin_unlock_bh(&tcp_secret_locker);
+			memcpy(bakery,
+			       &tcp_secret_generating->secrets[0],
+			       sizeof(tcp_secret_generating->secrets));

Technically speaking, you should perform the memcpy() before spin_unlock_bh()

+	if (unlikely(time_after_eq(jiffy, tcp_secret_generating->expires))) {
+		spin_lock_bh(&tcp_secret_locker);
+		if (!time_after_eq(jiffy, tcp_secret_generating->expires)) {
+			/* refreshed by another */
+			memcpy(bakery,
+			       &tcp_secret_generating->secrets[0],
+			       sizeof(tcp_secret_generating->secrets));
+			spin_unlock_bh(&tcp_secret_locker);
