From: Toke Høiland-Jørgensen <toke@xxxxxxxxxx> commit a543ada7db729514ddd3ba4efa45f4c7b802ad85 upstream. The crypto_unregister_alg() function expects callers to ensure that any algorithm that is unregistered has a refcnt of exactly 1, and issues a BUG_ON() if this is not the case. 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.
