Subject: [PATCH net-next] macsec: check for duplicate SCIs before registering the device
Date: Sun, 11 Oct 2026 21:57:11 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261011-macsec-early-sci-check-2b1f06af193f@gmail.com> (raw)

From: Haseeb Malik <haseebulhaq55@gmail.com>

macsec_newlink() registers and links the device before rejecting a
duplicate SCI. Registration can emit link notifications for a device
whose creation ultimately fails with -EBUSY.

The SCI is already resolved before SecY initialization, so check for a
duplicate there and return -EBUSY directly. Remove the now-unused unlink
label while preserving cleanup for failures after registration.

Tested on arm64 in virtme with KASAN and lockdep: all 15 MACsec selftests
and 80 offload/cleanup cycles pass. Rejected-device link notifications
observed by the diagnostic drop from two to zero.
