When allocate crypto algorithms, e.g. crypto_alloc_shash(), using template model will run into the path that call module_request(). But there have no any module alias that match with the template name. e.g. Enable the module_request tracing event then run "modprobe tcrypt mode=10" to test, it produces module_request event: [...] modprobe-4965 [000] .... 123.504690: module_request: ecb(aes) wait=1 call_site=crypto_larval_lookup modprobe-4965 [002] .... 123.506826: module_request: ecb(aes)-all wait=1 call_site=crypto_larval_lookup cryptomgr_probe-4970 [003] .... 123.509007: module_request: ecb wait=1 call_site=crypto_lookup_template Here should not call module_request() for ecb(aes) because the template name doesn't match with any driver's alias. This patch add the name checking in crypto_larval_lookup() to filter out the template before request kernel module.
