Jan Engelhardt 491062a009 crypto: n2 - cure use after free
commit 203f45003a3d03eea8fa28d74cfc74c354416fdb upstream.

queue_cache_init is first called for the Control Word Queue
(n2_crypto_probe). At that time, queue_cache[0] is NULL and a new
kmem_cache will be allocated. If the subsequent n2_register_algs call
fails, the kmem_cache will be released in queue_cache_destroy, but
queue_cache_init[0] is not set back to NULL.

So when the Module Arithmetic Unit gets probed next (n2_mau_probe),
queue_cache_init will not allocate a kmem_cache again, but leave it
as its bogus value, causing a BUG() to trigger when queue_cache[0] is
eventually passed to kmem_cache_zalloc:

	n2_crypto: Found N2CP at /virtual-devices@100/n2cp@7
	n2_crypto: Registered NCS HVAPI version 2.0
	called queue_cache_init
	n2_crypto: md5 alg registration failed
	n2cp f028687c: /virtual-devices@100/n2cp@7: Unable to register algorithms.
	called queue_cache_destroy
	n2cp: probe of f028687c failed with error -22
	n2_crypto: Found NCP at /virtual-devices@100/ncp@6
	n2_crypto: Registered NCS HVAPI version 2.0
	called queue_cache_init
	kernel BUG at mm/slab.c:2993!

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
