From eddbab1384841db30b270bc791ad623ad0cd5a38 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matthew Garrett Date: Fri, 8 Jun 2018 14:57:42 -0700 Subject: evm: Don't deadlock if a crypto algorithm is unavailable [ Upstream commit e2861fa71641c6414831d628a1f4f793b6562580 ] When EVM attempts to appraise a file signed with a crypto algorithm the kernel doesn't have support for, it will cause the kernel to trigger a module load. If the EVM policy includes appraisal of kernel modules this will in turn call back into EVM - since EVM is holding a lock until the crypto initialisation is complete, this triggers a deadlock. Add a CRYPTO_NOLOAD flag and skip module loading if it's set, and add that flag in the EVM case in order to fail gracefully with an error message instead of deadlocking.
