crypto: cryptd - disable softirqs in cryptd_queue_worker to prevent data corruption
commit 9efade1b3e981f5064f9db9ca971b4dc7557ae42 upstream. cryptd_queue_worker attempts to prevent simultaneous accesses to crypto workqueue by cryptd_enqueue_request using preempt_disable/preempt_enable. However cryptd_enqueue_request might be called from softirq context, so add local_bh_disable/local_bh_enable to prevent data corruption and panics. Bug report at http://marc.info/?l=linux-crypto-vger&m=134858649616319&w=2 v2: - Disable software interrupts instead of hardware interrupts Reported-by: Gurucharan Shetty <gurucharan.shetty@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jussi Kivilinna <jussi.kivilinna@mbnet.fi> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk>
