Jakub Kicinski says: ==================== net/tls: add a TX lock Some time ago Pooja and Mallesham started reporting crashes with an async accelerator. After trying to poke the existing logic into shape I came to the conclusion that it can't be trusted, and to preserve our sanity we should just add a lock around the TX side. First patch removes the sk_write_pending checks from the write space callbacks. Those don't seem to have a logical justification. Patch 2 adds the TX lock and patch 3 associated test (which should hang with current net). Mallesham reports that even with these fixes applied the async accelerator workload still occasionally hangs waiting for socket memory. I suspect that's strictly related to the way async crypto is integrated in TLS, so I think we should get these into net or net-next and move from there. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

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.
