    crypto: nx - Fix reentrancy bugs · 030f4e96
    Herbert Xu authored
    This patch fixes a host of reentrancy bugs in the nx driver.  The
    following algorithms are affected:
    
    * CCM
    * GCM
    * CTR
    * XCBC
    * SHA256
    * SHA512
    
    The crypto API allows a single transform to be used by multiple
    threads simultaneously.  For example, IPsec will use a single tfm
    to process packets for a given SA.  As packets may arrive on
    multiple CPUs that tfm must be reentrant.
    
    The nx driver does try to deal with this by using a spin lock.
    Unfortunately only the basic AES/CBC/ECB algorithms do this in
    the correct way.
    
    The symptom of these bugs may range from the generation of incorrect
    output to memory corruption.
