If I knew so many people were excited about TCP / MD5, I would have
posted all my patches on lkml ;)

Without the smp_wmb() we would still need something to prevent KMSAN
from detecting that we read uninitialized bytes,
if key->keylen is increased.  (initial content of key->key[] is garbage)

Something like this :
