This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled crypto: qat - fix double free during reset to the 5.15-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-qat-fix-double-free-during-reset.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 7bc414c07f3e15d794ef67f575af25c173b94b2e Author: Svyatoslav Pankratov <svyatoslav.pankratov@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Oct 9 13:27:19 2023 +0100 crypto: qat - fix double free during reset [ Upstream commit 01aed663e6c421aeafc9c330bda630976b50a764 ] There is no need to free the reset_data structure if the recovery is unsuccessful and the reset is synchronous. The function adf_dev_aer_schedule_reset() handles the cleanup properly. Only asynchronous resets require such structure to be freed inside the reset worker.
