    crypto: af_alg - remove locking in async callback · 7d2c3f54
    Stephan Mueller authored
    The code paths protected by the socket-lock do not use or modify the
    socket in a non-atomic fashion. The actions pertaining the socket do not
    even need to be handled as an atomic operation. Thus, the socket-lock
    can be safely ignored.
    
    This fixes a bug regarding scheduling in atomic as the callback function
    may be invoked in interrupt context.
    
    In addition, the sock_hold is moved before the AIO encrypt/decrypt
    operation to ensure that the socket is always present. This avoids a
    tiny race window where the socket is unprotected and yet used by the AIO
    operation.
    
    Finally, the release of resources for a crypto operation is moved into a
    common function of af_alg_free_resources.
