Subject: crypto: api - Fix races in crypto_unregister_instance
Date: Thu, 2 Apr 2015 22:31:22 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150402143122.GA9699@gondor.apana.org.au> (raw)
There are multiple problems in crypto_unregister_instance:
1) The cra_refcnt BUG_ON check is racy and can cause crashes.
2) The cra_refcnt check shouldn't exist at all.
3) There is no reference on tmpl to protect the tmpl->free call.
This patch rewrites the function using crypto_remove_spawn which
now morphs into crypto_remove_instance.
