Date: Fri, 18 Sep 2026 18:12:33 +0000 [thread overview]

> A driver MACsec SA can exist without a hardware MACsec object. Adding
> an inactive RX SA or a TX SA while the SecY is non-operational creates
> the encryption key but skips MACsec object creation. RX SA deactivation
> also destroys the hardware object while retaining the driver SA and
> its object ID.
>
> TX SA deletion and the SA teardown performed by RX SC and SecY deletion
> unconditionally destroy the hardware object. This can issue a destroy
> command with an unallocated zero ID or an ID that has already been
> destroyed and potentially reused. Failed RX SA activation can leave
> the same stale-ID state after steering creation unwinds.
>
> Track hardware object creation separately from SA activity. Set the
> ownership flag after successful creation, clear it on destruction and
> creation unwind, and check it before destroying the object during SA
> cleanup. This preserves destruction of objects retained by inactive
> TX SAs while avoiding destruction of unowned objects.
