From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> pcrypt_init_padata() cpus_read_lock() padata_alloc_possible() padata_alloc() cpus_read_lock() The nested call to cpus_read_lock() works with the current implementation, but prevents the conversion to a percpu rwsem. The other caller of padata_alloc_possible() is pcrypt_init_padata() which calls from a cpus_read_lock() protected region as well. Remove the cpus_read_lock() call in padata_alloc() and document the calling convention.
