Let's make it a hidden symbol? It seems like a low-level library
which gets select'ed, so no point bothering users with questions.

config CRYPTO_POOL
	tristate

that's it.

This isn't called by anything in this patch..
crypto_pool_alloc_ahash() should call it I'm guessing?

Could you use a local variable here instead of @hash?
That way you won't need the two separate free_ahash()
one before and one after the loop..

I think using @req here would be beneficial as well :S

This error handling is tricky as hell, please just add a separate
variable to hold the

In the current design we can as well resurrect a pool waiting to 
be destroyed, right? Just reinit the ref and we're good.

Otherwise the read() + get() looks quite suspicious to a reader.

Is there a precedent somewhere for the _add() and _get() semantics
you're using here? I don't think I've seen _add() for taking a
reference, maybe _get() -> start(), _add() -> _get()?
