These three events can race when pcrypt is used multiple times in a template ("pcrypt(pcrypt(...))"): 1. [taskA] The caller makes the crypto request via crypto_aead_encrypt() 2. [kworkerB] padata serializes the inner pcrypt request 3. [kworkerC] padata serializes the outer pcrypt request 3 might finish before the call to crypto_aead_encrypt() returns in 1, resulting in two possible issues. First, a use-after-free of the crypto request's memory when, for example, taskA writes to the outer pcrypt request's padata->info in pcrypt_aead_enc() after kworkerC completes the request. Second, the outer pcrypt request overwrites the inner pcrypt request's return code with -EINPROGRESS, making a successful request appear to fail. For instance, kworkerB writes the outer pcrypt request's padata->info in pcrypt_aead_done() and then taskA overwrites it in pcrypt_aead_enc(). Avoid both situations by delaying the write of padata->info until after the inner crypto request's return code is checked. This prevents the use-after-free by not touching the crypto request's memory after the next-inner crypto request is made, and stops padata->info from being overwritten.
