See https://git.zx2c4.com/wireguard-linux/tree/drivers/net/wireguard/device.c#n63 if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PM_AUTOSLEEP) || IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_ANDROID)) return 0; if (action != PM_HIBERNATION_PREPARE && action != PM_SUSPEND_PREPARE) return 0; [...] wg_noise_handshake_clear(&peer->handshake); wg_noise_keypairs_clear(&peer->keypairs); Somebody asked the same question on wgml here - https://lore.kernel.org/wireguard/CAHmME9p2OYSTX2C5M0faKtw2N8jiyohvRqnAPKa=e7bwynf...@mail.gmail.com/T/ - and then eventually suggested that I should wake up computers from sleep to clear that memory. No way jose. Anyway, this matter has been resolved in this thread here: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20220630191230.235306-1-kaleshsi...@google.com/T/ And this Android change: https://android-review.googlesource.com/c/kernel/common/+/2142693/1 Resulting in these two commits landing in Greg's tree: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc.git/commit/?id=261e224d6a5c43e2bb8a07b7662f9b4ec425cfec https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc.git/commit/?id=1045a06724f322ed61f1ffb994427c7bdbe64647 So hopefully this thread can come to an end and I can get back to work.
