Subject: [PATCH v2] crypto: Fix hungtask for PADATA_RESET

We found a hungtask bug in test_aead_vec_cfg as follows:

INFO: task cryptomgr_test:391009 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
"echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.
Call trace:

Kernel panic - not syncing: hung_task: blocked tasks

For padata_do_parallel, when the return err is 0 or -EBUSY, it will call
wait_for_completion(&wait->completion) in test_aead_vec_cfg. In normal
case, aead_request_complete() will be called in pcrypt_aead_serial and the
return err is 0 for padata_do_parallel. But, when pinst->flags is
PADATA_RESET, the return err is -EBUSY for padata_do_parallel, and it
won't call aead_request_complete(). Therefore, test_aead_vec_cfg will
hung at wait_for_completion(&wait->completion), which will cause
hungtask.

The problem comes as following:
(padata_do_parallel) |
rcu_read_lock_bh(); |
err = -EINVAL; | (padata_replace)
| pinst->flags |= PADATA_RESET;
err = -EBUSY |
if (pinst->flags & PADATA_RESET) |
rcu_read_unlock_bh() |
return err

In order to resolve the problem, we retry at most 5 times when
padata_do_parallel return -EBUSY. For more than 5 times, we replace the
return err -EBUSY with -EAGAIN, which means parallel_data is changing, and
the caller should call it again.

v2:
introduce padata_try_do_parallel() in pcrypt_aead_encrypt and
pcrypt_aead_decrypt to solve the hungtask

Steffen, should we retry this at all? Or should it just fail as it
did before?

It should be fine if we don't retry and just fail with -EAGAIN and let
caller handles it. It should not break the meaning of the error code.

Just failing without a retry should be ok.

Thanks for your suggestion. I will update the patch and remove retry in v3.
