The nx driver uses the MAY_SLEEP flag in shash_desc::flags as an indicator to not retry sending the operation to the hardware as many times before returning -EBUSY. This is bogus because (1) that's not what the MAY_SLEEP flag is for, and (2) the shash API doesn't allow failing if the hardware is busy anyway. For now, just make it always retry the larger number of times. This doesn't actually fix this driver, but it at least makes it not use the shash_desc::flags field anymore. Then this field can be removed, as no other drivers use it. Cc: linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@google.com> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
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.
