[gregkh]

The patch below was submitted to be applied to the 5.18-stable tree.

I fail to see how this patch meets the stable kernel rules as found at
Documentation/process/stable-kernel-rules.rst.

I could be totally wrong, and if so, please respond to 
<stable@vger.kernel.org> and let me know why this patch should be
applied.  Otherwise, it is now dropped from my patch queues, never to be
seen again.

thanks,

greg k-h

Subject: [PATCH] crypto: qat - remove dma_free_coherent() for DH

The functions qat_dh_compute_value() allocates memory with
dma_alloc_coherent() if the source or the destination buffers are made
of multiple flat buffers or of a size that is not compatible with the
hardware.
This memory is then freed with dma_free_coherent() in the context of a
tasklet invoked to handle the response for the corresponding request.

According to Documentation/core-api/dma-api-howto.rst, the function
dma_free_coherent() cannot be called in an interrupt context.

Replace allocations with dma_alloc_coherent() in the function
qat_dh_compute_value() with kmalloc() + dma_map_single().
