Yuh oh, I sure hope this isn't newsworthy for LWN. This has already
consumed me for two days...

What you're missing is that wireguard needs to do this before going to
sleep, not when waking up, because one of the objectives is forward
secrecy. 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=e7BWynF7fQ@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-kaleshsingh@google.com/T/
And this Android change:

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

So hopefully this thread can come to an end and I can get back to work.
