Subject: [PATCH] crypto: api - Check spawn->alg under lock in crypto_drop_spawn
Date: Fri, 6 Dec 2019 13:55:17 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191206055517.53o7xtpxdo2bx6qe@gondor.apana.org.au> (raw)

We need to check whether spawn->alg is NULL under lock as otherwise
the algorithm could be removed from under us after we have checked
it and found it to be non-NULL.  This could cause us to remove the
spawn from a non-existent list.

Fixes: 6bfd48096ff8 ("[CRYPTO] api: Added spawns")
