This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled crypto: bcm - add error check in the ahash_hmac_init function 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-bcm-add-error-check-in-the-ahash_hmac_init-fu.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 51733edb4db006ca5ab3c45870f1bc7dd5454b1b Author: Chen Ridong <chenridong@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Nov 4 12:17:45 2024 +0000 crypto: bcm - add error check in the ahash_hmac_init function [ Upstream commit 19630cf57233e845b6ac57c9c969a4888925467b ] The ahash_init functions may return fails. The ahash_hmac_init should not return ok when ahash_init returns error. For an example, ahash_init will return -ENOMEM when allocation memory is error.
