If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 79456f3d684d5e59c8adf7f6e74497bbc2aec6d8 Author: Nivas Varadharajan Mugunthakumar <nivasx.varadharajan.mugunthakumar@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Jun 25 15:38:50 2024 +0100 crypto: qat - extend scope of lock in adf_cfg_add_key_value_param() [ Upstream commit 6424da7d8b938fe66e7e771eaa949bc7b6c29c00 ] The function adf_cfg_add_key_value_param() attempts to access and modify the key value store of the driver without locking. Extend the scope of cfg->lock to avoid a potential race condition.
