Nice catch. Indeed the code looks racy.

In this path it should not be needed, so just
s5p_aes_complete(dev->req)? At this point dev->busy is true so
s5p_aes_handle_req() will exit before starting new tasklet. Also the
interrupt is an effect of finishing work by device scheduled in last
tasklet... so obviously no tasklet should be running.

Please put it before new line (so there will be new line before
unlock). Logically it should not be separated from other commands in
error path.
