Crash when using ahash_request_ctx

[Corentin LABBE <clabbe.montjoie@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello

I have a problem when using a simple md5 tfm.
When I use the data that ahash_request_ctx() give me, it will cause random crash when removing the module later.
I do not understand it, because .cra_ctxsize seems to be rightly used.

The very simplified POC code will follow, it register a fake md5 implementation.
If I remove the op->mode = 0, I can modprobe/rmmod for ever without problem.
With it, rmmod will segfault in 2 or 3 tries, so it is this write that is the source of the problem.

I have try to debug, but I cannot find where __ctx (the pointer returned by ahash_request_ctx) is allocated.

Does I am right when saying: ahash_request_ctx() return the pointer to a structure of size equal to cra_ctxsize allocated for each request ?

Thanks in advance

Best regards
