crypto: algboss - don't wait during notifier callback
When a crypto template needs to be instantiated, CRYPTO_MSG_ALG_REQUEST is sent to crypto_chain. cryptomgr_schedule_probe() handles this by starting a thread to instantiate the template, then waiting for this thread to complete via crypto_larval::completion. This can deadlock because instantiating the template may require loading modules, and this (apparently depending on userspace) may need to wait for the crc-t10dif module (lib/crc-t10dif.c) to be loaded. But crc-t10dif's module_init function uses crypto_register_notifier() and therefore takes crypto_chain.rwsem for write. That can't proceed until the notifier callback has finished, as it holds this semaphore for read. Fix this by removing the wait on crypto_larval::completion from within cryptomgr_schedule_probe(). It's actually unnecessary because crypto_alg_mod_lookup() calls crypto_larval_wait() itself after sending CRYPTO_MSG_ALG_REQUEST. This only actually became a problem in v4.20 due to commitb76377543b
("crc-t10dif: Pick better transform if one becomes available"), but the unnecessary wait was much older. BugLink: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=207159 Reported-by: Mike Gerow <gerow@google.com> Fixes:398710379f
