3.2.78-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Herbert Xu <herbert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 6454c2b83f719057069777132b13949e4c6b6350 upstream. Any access to non-constant bits of the private context must be done under the socket lock, in particular, this includes ctx->req. This patch moves such accesses under the lock, and fetches the tfm from the parent socket which is guaranteed to be constant, rather than from ctx->req.
