The crypto_unregister_alg() function expects callers to ensure that any algorithm that is unregistered has a refcnt of exactly 1, and issues a BUG_ON() if this is not the case. However, there are in fact drivers that will call crypto_unregister_alg() without ensuring that the refcnt has been lowered first, most notably on system shutdown. This causes the BUG_ON() to trigger, which prevents a clean shutdown and hangs the system. To avoid such hangs on shutdown, demote the BUG_ON() in crypto_unregister_alg() to a WARN_ON() with early return. Cc stable because this problem was observed on a 6.2 kernel, cf the link below.

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.
