3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
===============
commit 610f2de3559c383caf8fbbf91e9968102dff7ca0 upstream.
The DM crypt target used per-cpu structures to hold pointers to a
ablkcipher_request structure. The code assumed that the work item keeps
executing on a single CPU, so it didn't use synchronization when
accessing this structure.
If a CPU is disabled by writing 0 to /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/online,
the work item could be moved to another CPU. This causes dm-crypt
crashes, like the following, because the code starts using an incorrect
ablkcipher_request:
smpboot: CPU 7 is now offline
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000130

[<ffffffff81058cf0>] ? kthread_create_on_node+0x120/0x120
Fix this bug by removing the per-cpu definition. The structure
ablkcipher_request is accessed via a pointer from convert_context.
Consequently, if the work item is rescheduled to a different CPU, the
thread still uses the same ablkcipher_request.
This change may undermine performance improvements intended by commit
c0297721 ("dm crypt: scale to multiple cpus") on select hardware. In
practice no performance difference was observed on recent hardware. But
regardless, correctness is more important than performance.
