This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled tipc: force a dst refcount before doing decryption 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: tipc-force-a-dst-refcount-before-doing-decryption.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 27c73e8edb883076e3b6af147daeb13f929ae851 Author: Xin Long <lucien.xin@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat Jun 15 14:27:20 2024 -0400 tipc: force a dst refcount before doing decryption [ Upstream commit 2ebe8f840c7450ecbfca9d18ac92e9ce9155e269 ] As it says in commit 3bc07321ccc2 ("xfrm: Force a dst refcount before entering the xfrm type handlers"): "Crypto requests might return asynchronous. In this case we leave the rcu protected region, so force a refcount on the skb's destination entry before we enter the xfrm type input/output handlers." On TIPC decryption path it has the same problem, and skb_dst_force() should be called before doing decryption to avoid a possible crash.
