[PATCH 0/4] crypto: api - Retain grabbed refcount until registration

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When an instance grabs an algorithm, it has to hold a reference count
on it until the instance is registered.  This is because otherwise
the algorithm can go away at any time.

A number of such bugs has been fixed in the past.  This patch series
tries to close the remaining holes.

Cheers,
