Subject: [PATCH] crypto: Demote BUG_ON() in crypto_unregister_alg() to a WARN_ON()
Date:   Sat, 11 Mar 2023 17:25:12 +0100

The crypto_unregister_alg() function expects callers to ensure that any
algorithm that is unregistered has a refcnt of exactly 1, and issues a
BUG_ON() if this is not the case. However, there are in fact drivers that
will call crypto_unregister_alg() without ensuring that the refcnt has been
lowered first, most notably on system shutdown. This causes the BUG_ON() to
trigger, which prevents a clean shutdown and hangs the system.

To avoid such hangs on shutdown, demote the BUG_ON() to WARN_ON() in
crypto_unregister_alg(). Cc stable because this problem was observed on a
6.2 kernel, cf the link below.
