If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 7c9ed956559bc4dbb1014635d4a05c7763c3b394 Author: Sabrina Dubroca <sd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Nov 2 22:33:13 2022 +0100 macsec: delete new rxsc when offload fails [ Upstream commit 93a30947821c203d08865c4e17ea181c9668ce52 ] Currently we get an inconsistent state: - netlink returns the error to userspace - the RXSC is installed but not offloaded Then the device could get confused when we try to add an RXSA, because the RXSC isn't supposed to exist.
