Re: [PATCH v2] net: mac802154: Fix general protection fault

Hi,

syzbot found general protection fault in crypto_destroy_tfm()[1].
It was caused by wrong clean up loop in llsec_key_alloc().
If one of the tfm array members is in IS_ERR() range it will
cause general protection fault in clean up function [1].

I am sorry, I don't know the tag "Change-Id", I was doing a whole grep
on Documentation/ without any luck.

Dumb question: What is the meaning of it?
