Subject: [PATCH net v3 v3 3/3] macsec: use rcu_work to defer TX SA crypto cleanup out of softirq
Date: Sat, 9 May 2026 11:33:47 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260509033353.1814289-4-alexjlzheng@tencent.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260509033353.1814289-1-alexjlzheng@tencent.com>
From: Jinliang Zheng <alexjlzheng@tencent.com>
free_txsa() is an RCU callback running in softirq context, but calls
crypto_free_aead() which can invoke vunmap() internally on hardware
crypto drivers (e.g. hisi_sec2), triggering a kernel crash.
Use rcu_work to defer the cleanup to a workqueue, for the same reasons
as the analogous fix to free_rxsa() in the previous patch.
Fixes: c09440f7dcb3 ("macsec: introduce IEEE 802.1AE driver")
