Subject: [PATCH] crypto: pcrypt: Fix possible deadlock in padata_sysfs_release
Date: Fri, 31 May 2019 17:29:23 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190531092923.4874-1-wangkefeng.wang@huawei.com> (raw)

There is a deadlock issue in pcrypt_init_padata(),

pcrypt_init_padata()
    cpus_read_lock()
      padata_free()
        padata_sysfs_release()
          cpus_read_lock()

Narrow rcu_read_lock/unlock() and move put_online_cpus()
before padata_free() to fix it.
