[PATCH net 0/3] tls: Introduce and use RX async resync request cancel function

Hi,

This series by Shahar introduces RX async resync request cancel function
in tls module, and uses it in mlx5e driver.

For a device-offloaded TLS RX connection, the TLS module increments
rcd_delta each time a new TLS record is received, tracking the distance
from the original resync request. In the meanwhile, the device is
queried and is expected to respond, asynchronously.

However, if the device response is delayed or fails (e.g due to unstable
connection and device getting out of tracking, hardware errors, resource
exhaustion etc.), the TLS module keeps logging and incrementing
rcd_delta, which can lead to a WARN() when rcd_delta exceeds the
threshold.

This series improves this code area by canceling the resync request when
spotting an issue with the device response.

Regards,
Tariq
