Subject: [PATCH v2 3/6] s390/crypto: Fix use of mutex in atomic context in PAES
Date: Mon, 17 Aug 2026 12:42:00 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260817104203.74033-4-freude@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260817104203.74033-1-freude@linux.ibm.com>

The PAES CTR implementation used a mutex to lock one page of exclusive
memory for fast CTR processing. Unfortunately a mutex is not save to
use in atomic or interrupt context. So use a binary semaphore instead
which is save to use in such environments.

Fixes: 6cd87cb5ef6c ("s390/crypto: Rework protected key AES for true asynch support")
