Zeroize the buffer holding the message digest calculated for the

Perhaps something like this (alternatively kzfree() would work, too) ...

static void __sock_kfree_s(struct sock *sk, void *mem, int size,
			   bool clear_mem)
{
	if (WARN_ON_ONCE(!mem))
		return;
	if (clear_mem)
		memzero_explicit(mem, size);
	kfree(mem);
	atomic_sub(size, &sk->sk_omem_alloc);
}

void sock_kfree_s(struct sock *sk, void *mem, int size)
{
	__sock_kfree_s(sk, mem, size, false);
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL(sock_kfree_s);

void sock_kzfree_s(struct sock *sk, void *mem, int size)
{
	__sock_kfree_s(sk, mem, size, true);
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL(sock_kzfree_s);

... so you could then just use it as drop-in in various places:

sock_kzfree_s(sk, ctx->result, ...);

  		     crypto_ahash_digestsize(crypto_ahash_reqtfm(&ctx->req)));
  	sock_kfree_s(sk, ctx, ctx->len);


Thanks,
