Hi Jesper,
Thanks, but I think there is still a problem here. You don't want to kfree req_data
when the kmalloc failed. I think it should look as follows.  
Are you ok with this?

Here goes.

Fix up previous patch that attempted to fix a mem leak in 
rfc4106_set_hash_subkey. The previous patch was flawed in that the 'goto 
out' would still leak.
