From 77dbd7a95e4a4f15264c333a9e9ab97ee27dc2aa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Herbert Xu Date: Sun, 8 Sep 2013 14:33:50 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] crypto: api - Fix race condition in larval lookup crypto_larval_lookup should only return a larval if it created one. Any larval created by another entity must be processed through crypto_larval_wait before being returned. Otherwise this will lead to a larval being killed twice, which will most likely lead to a crash.
