From: Xin Long <lucien.xin@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit f6db9096416209474090d64d8284e7c16c3d8873 ] b->media->send_msg() requires rcu_read_lock(), as we can see elsewhere in tipc, tipc_bearer_xmit, tipc_bearer_xmit_skb and tipc_bearer_bc_xmit(). Syzbot has reported this issue as: net/tipc/bearer.c:466 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage! Workqueue: cryptd cryptd_queue_worker Call Trace: tipc_l2_send_msg+0x354/0x420 net/tipc/bearer.c:466 tipc_aead_encrypt_done+0x204/0x3a0 net/tipc/crypto.c:761 cryptd_aead_crypt+0xe8/0x1d0 crypto/cryptd.c:739 cryptd_queue_worker+0x118/0x1b0 crypto/cryptd.c:181 process_one_work+0x94c/0x1670 kernel/workqueue.c:2269 worker_thread+0x64c/0x1120 kernel/workqueue.c:2415 kthread+0x3b5/0x4a0 kernel/kthread.c:291 ret_from_fork+0x1f/0x30 arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:293 So fix it by calling rcu_read_lock() in tipc_aead_encrypt_done() for b->media->send_msg().
