This is a great catch!  Looks like we remove the secret_interval in
net-next commit
e3a57d18b061 ("inet: frag: remove periodic secret rebuild timer")
But somehow RHEL kernel still retain this field, and the
secret_interval was set to 10 * 60 * HZ.

I would recommend to set 'secret_interval' by grepping this filed in
'struct inet_frags' rather than by kernel version. So that if RHEL 8
kernel still have this field, your fix will apply.

That's a good point to raise.

My thinking was to specifically call it out for RHEL 7 because it hasn't
been in the kernel since 3.16
and this bug is RHEL 7 specific. That's a long way back and I'm sure it will
not be there in
the RHEL 8 kernel.  This makes it clear that it is only for RHEL 7 and
nothing else.

However, if you and others feel strongly about it I don't mind making the
change.
I do not have a strong opinion no this. I think current solution also work.

Thanks,

Is there anything else required for this patch to get it committed?

Thanks,
