[ Upstream commit 91e8bcd7b4da182e09ea19a2c73167345fe14c98 ] The access to cryptd_queue::cpu_queue is synchronized by disabling preemption in cryptd_enqueue_request() and disabling BH in cryptd_queue_worker(). This implies that access is allowed from BH. If cryptd_enqueue_request() is invoked from preemptible context _and_ soft interrupt then this can lead to list corruption since cryptd_enqueue_request() is not protected against access from soft interrupt. Replace get_cpu() in cryptd_enqueue_request() with local_bh_disable() to ensure BH is always disabled. Remove preempt_disable() from cryptd_queue_worker() since it is not needed because local_bh_disable() ensures synchronisation.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
