Cosmin reports the following locking issue:

Which is similar to recent syzkaller reports in [0] and [1] and triggers
because macsec does not advertise IFF_UNICAST_FLT although it has proper
ndo_set_rx_mode callback that takes care of pushing uc/mc addresses
down to the real device.
In general, dev_uc_add call path is problematic for stacking
non-IFF_UNICAST_FLT because we might grab netdev instance lock under
addr_list_lock spinlock, so this is not a systemic fix.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
