This fixes the following crash:

0. do not modprobe macsec
1. create veth pair
2. run two wpa_supplicant linux_macsec instances on both ends
3. see one instance crash

Wasn't that fixed by commit 5db86df6a849? (cc'ing Davide)

I used https://github.com/michael-dev/hostapd/commits/feature/aruba-workaround (which contains my fixes now as well now) to trigger the issue. That already includes 5db86df6a849, so that did likely did not fix my issue.

Looking at 5db86df6a849, it appears that it fixes a crash from macsec_drv_create_transmit_sc, but the crash now is triggered by macsec_drv_create_receive_sc.

Either way, this is a cleaner fix and I had a similar patch lying
around (see below). There's still one problem after your patch:
ieee802_1x_kay_init isn't consistent wrt freeing ctx. Some error paths
will return NULL and leave ctx untouched, while some (after trying to
init CP) will call ieee802_1x_kay_deinit, which frees both kay and
kay->ctx.

Good catch!

(Arguably this could be split into two patches: first make
ieee802_1x_kay_init consistent, then add error handling for
secy_init_macsec)

Your patch looks good, so lets just apply it.

Regards,
M. Braun
