Stephan Mueller c692698ebe crypto: af_alg - wait for data at beginning of recvmsg
commit 11edb555966ed2c66c533d17c604f9d7e580a829 upstream.

The wait for data is a non-atomic operation that can sleep and therefore
potentially release the socket lock. The release of the socket lock
allows another thread to modify the context data structure. The waiting
operation for new data therefore must be called at the beginning of
recvmsg. This prevents a race condition where checks of the members of
the context data structure are performed by recvmsg while there is a
potential for modification of these values.

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.
