Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

crypto: pcrypt - Fix hungtask for PADATA_RESET

We found a hungtask bug in test_aead_vec_cfg as follows:

INFO: task cryptomgr_test:391009 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
"echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.

Kernel panic - not syncing: hung_task: blocked tasks

For padata_do_parallel, when the return err is 0 or -EBUSY, it will call
wait_for_completion(&wait->completion) in test_aead_vec_cfg. In normal
case, aead_request_complete() will be called in pcrypt_aead_serial and the
return err is 0 for padata_do_parallel. But, when pinst->flags is
PADATA_RESET, the return err is -EBUSY for padata_do_parallel, and it
won't call aead_request_complete(). Therefore, test_aead_vec_cfg will
hung at wait_for_completion(&wait->completion), which will cause
hungtask.

The problem comes as following:
(padata_do_parallel) |
rcu_read_lock_bh(); |
err = -EINVAL; | (padata_replace)
| pinst->flags |= PADATA_RESET;
err = -EBUSY |
if (pinst->flags & PADATA_RESET) |
rcu_read_unlock_bh() |
return err

In order to resolve the problem, we replace the return err -EBUSY with
-EAGAIN, which means parallel_data is changing, and the caller should call
it again.

v3:
remove retry and just change the return err.
v2:
introduce padata_try_do_parallel() in pcrypt_aead_encrypt and
pcrypt_aead_decrypt to solve the hungtask.
