[PATCH v5 05/10] crypto: arm/aes-neonbs - clear the crypto_aes_ctx when done

From: Thomas Huth

Date: Mon Aug 10 2026 - 05:34:00 EST


From: Thomas Huth <thuth@xxxxxxxxxx>

Clear the crypto_aes_ctx structure via __cleanup(aes_zeroize_ctx) when
we're done with it to avoid that key data could leak on the stack.
