This patchset contains the following fixes: 1. padata - Fix a potential hang of the parallel worker threads on cpu hotplug. 2. padata - Fix two NULL pointer dereference crashes if one of the padata cpumasks is empty. The crashes can be triggered by doing echo 0 > /sys/kernel/pcrypt/pencrypt/[parallel_cpumask/serial_cpumask] 3. padata - Fix a division by zero crash if the parallel cpumask contains no active cpu. Can be triggered by doing echo 0 > /sys/kernel/pcrypt/pencrypt/parallel_cpumask 4. pcrypt - Fix division by zero crash if the callback cpumask is empty. Can be triggered by doing echo 0 > /sys/kernel/pcrypt/pencrypt/serial_cpumask I ran a script that does cpumask changes and cpu hotplugs as fast as possible while sending IPsec packets on maximal rate with pcrypt. It showed no furter crashes overnight, so I hope I've got them all. padata API corrections and some minor fixes/cleanups are comming later.
