From 96ad8d508fcbe54ed2d559f03d1adaddf19b96e7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Herbert Xu Date: Sat, 7 Dec 2019 22:15:15 +0800 Subject: crypto: api - Fix race condition in crypto_spawn_alg commit 73669cc556462f4e50376538d77ee312142e8a8a upstream. The function crypto_spawn_alg is racy because it drops the lock before shooting the dying algorithm. The algorithm could disappear altogether before we shoot it. This patch fixes it by moving the shooting into the locked section.
