Subject: [PATCH 0/4] crypto: api - Retain grabbed refcount until registration
Date: Fri, 6 Dec 2019 14:38:12 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191206063812.ueudgjfwzri5ekpr@gondor.apana.org.au> (raw)
When an instance grabs an algorithm, it has to hold a reference count
on it until the instance is registered. This is because otherwise
the algorithm can go away at any time.
A number of such bugs has been fixed in the past. This patch series
tries to close the remaining holes.
Cheers,
