The crypto API was using the -EBUSY return value to indicate both a hard failure to submit a crypto operation into a transformation provider when the latter was busy and the backlog mechanism was not enabled as well as a notification that the operation was queued into the backlog when the backlog mechanism was enabled. Having the same return code indicate two very different conditions depending on a flag is both error prone and requires extra runtime check like the following to discern between the cases: if (err == -EINPROGRESS || (err == -EBUSY && (ahash_request_flags(req) & CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_BACKLOG))) This patch changes the return code used to indicate a crypto op failed due to the transformation provider being transiently busy to -ENOSPC.

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.
