This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled crypto: api - Use work queue in crypto_destroy_instance to the 6.5-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: crypto-api-use-work-queue-in-crypto_destroy_instance.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.5 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 1d06cbcf6f7a73ea0ea3089aa8a37e5b624d97d4 Author: Herbert Xu <herbert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Aug 3 17:59:28 2023 +0800 crypto: api - Use work queue in crypto_destroy_instance [ Upstream commit 9ae4577bc077a7e32c3c7d442c95bc76865c0f17 ] The function crypto_drop_spawn expects to be called in process context. However, when an instance is unregistered while it still has active users, the last user may cause the instance to be freed in atomic context. Fix this by delaying the freeing to a work queue.
