If driver tries to unregister the algorithms during its .remove() callback, then this BUG_ON is hit: int crypto_unregister_alg(struct crypto_alg *alg) { [...] BUG_ON(refcount_read(&alg->cra_refcnt) != 1); 2. If driver exits without unregistering the algorithms, next time one of the tfms referencing those algorithms will be used bad things will happen. 3. There is no mechanism in crypto core for notifying users to stop using a tfm. Thanks, Horia
