However, there are in fact drivers that will call crypto_unregister_alg() without ensuring that the refcnt has been lowered first, most notably on system shutdown. This causes the BUG_ON() to trigger, which prevents a clean shutdown and hangs the system. To avoid such hangs on shutdown, demote the BUG_ON() in crypto_unregister_alg() to a WARN_ON() with early return. Cc stable because this problem was observed on a 6.2 kernel, cf the link below.
