The crypto API was using the -EBUSY return value to indicate both a hard failure to submit a crypto operation into a transformation provider when the latter was busy and the backlog mechanism was not enabled as well as a notification that the operation was queued into the backlog when the backlog mechanism was enabled. Having the same return code indicate two very different conditions depending on a flag is both error prone and requires extra runtime check like the following to discern between the cases: if (err == -EINPROGRESS || (err == -EBUSY && (ahash_request_flags(req) & CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_BACKLOG))) This patch changes the return code used to indicate a crypto op failed due to the transformation provider being transiently busy to -EAGAIN.
