commit cf144f81a99d1a3928f90b0936accfd3f45c9a0a upstream.
Testing padata with the tcrypt module on a 5.2 kernel...
# modprobe tcrypt alg="pcrypt(rfc4106(gcm(aes)))" type=3
# modprobe tcrypt mode=211 sec=1
...produces this splat:
INFO: task modprobe:10075 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
Not tainted 5.2.0-base+ #16

...
The second modprobe command never finishes because in padata_reorder,
CPU0's load of reorder_objects is executed before the unlocking store in
spin_unlock_bh(pd->lock), causing CPU0 to miss CPU1's increment:
CPU0 CPU1
padata_reorder padata_do_serial
LOAD reorder_objects // 0
INC reorder_objects // 1
padata_reorder
TRYLOCK pd->lock // failed
UNLOCK pd->lock
CPU0 deletes the timer before returning from padata_reorder and since no
other job is submitted to padata, modprobe waits indefinitely.
Add a pair of full barriers to guarantee proper ordering:
CPU0 CPU1
padata_reorder padata_do_serial
UNLOCK pd->lock
smp_mb()
LOAD reorder_objects
INC reorder_objects
smp_mb__after_atomic()
padata_reorder
TRYLOCK pd->lock
smp_mb__after_atomic is needed so the read part of the trylock operation
comes after the INC, as Andrea points out. Thanks also to Andrea for
help with writing a litmus test.
