Subject: [PATCH] crypto: arm/aes-neonbs - fix usage of cbc(aes) fallback
Date: Wed, 28 Oct 2020 11:03:20 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201028090320.4222-1-horia.geanta@nxp.com> (raw)

Loading the module deadlocks since:
-local cbc(aes) implementation needs a fallback and
-crypto API tries to find one but the request_module() resolves back to
the same module

Fix this by changing the module alias for cbc(aes) and
using the NEED_FALLBACK flag when requesting for a fallback algorithm.

Fixes: 00b99ad2bac2 ("crypto: arm/aes-neonbs - Use generic cbc encryption path")
