Hmm, this patch does not apply against the current tree.  Is this
a stable-only patch?

This would be a stable-only patch. With the overhauling of the AF_ALG
memory handling, this is a no-issue any more.

If you want this as a stable-only patch, you need to resend it and
justify it a bunch as to why it isn't in Linus's tree as well.

Would you push it or shall I send it?

Please resend it with details as to why this isn't needed on the
mainline kernel, i.e., due to the new code-base which has addressed
the bug in a different way but is too invasive for stable.

Thanks,
