This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.

===============

commit 0618764cb25f6fa9fb31152995de42a8a0496475 upstream.

I suspect this doesn't show up for most anyone because software
algorithms typically don't have a sense of being too busy.  However,
when working with the Freescale CAAM driver it will return -EBUSY on
occasion under heavy -- which resulted in dm-crypt deadlock.

After checking the logic in some other drivers, the scheme for
crypt_convert() and it's callback, kcryptd_async_done(), were not
correctly laid out to properly handle -EBUSY or -EINPROGRESS.

Fix this by using the completion for both -EBUSY and -EINPROGRESS.  Now
crypt_convert()'s use of completion is comparable to
af_alg_wait_for_completion().  Similarly, kcryptd_async_done() follows
the pattern used in af_alg_complete().

Before this fix dm-crypt would lockup within 1-2 minutes running with
the CAAM driver.  Fix was regression tested against software algorithms
on PPC32 and x86_64, and things seem perfectly happy there as well.
