This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled s390/zcrypt: fix reference counting on zcrypt card objects to the 5.4-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: s390-zcrypt-fix-reference-counting-on-zcrypt-card-ob.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit cee319a8380ca8519cdb409461b3c353856b566d Author: Harald Freudenberger <freude@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Feb 29 15:20:09 2024 +0100 s390/zcrypt: fix reference counting on zcrypt card objects [ Upstream commit 50ed48c80fecbe17218afed4f8bed005c802976c ] Tests with hot-plugging crytpo cards on KVM guests with debug kernel build revealed an use after free for the load field of the struct zcrypt_card. The reason was an incorrect reference handling of the zcrypt card object which could lead to a free of the zcrypt card object while it was still in use. This is an example of the slab message: kernel: 0x00000000885a7512-0x00000000885a7513 @offset=1298.

Similar after use of the queue not only the queue but also the card object's reference count is decreased with zcrypt_card_put().
