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,

From 80a52e1ee7757b742f96bfb0d58f0c14eb6583d0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Giovanni Cabiddu giovanni.cabiddu@intel.com Date: Mon, 9 May 2022 14:34:11 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] crypto: qat - fix memory leak in RSA
When an RSA key represented in form 2 (as defined in PKCS #1 V2.1) is used, some components of the private key persist even after the TFM is released. Replace the explicit calls to free the buffers in qat_rsa_exit_tfm() with a call to qat_rsa_clear_ctx() which frees all buffers referenced in the TFM context.
