Subject[ 15/83] crypto: cryptd - disable softirqs in cryptd_queue_worker to prevent data corruption
Date
3.6-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jussi Kivilinna <jussi.kivilinna@mbnet.fi>

commit 9efade1b3e981f5064f9db9ca971b4dc7557ae42 upstream.

cryptd_queue_worker attempts to prevent simultaneous accesses to crypto
workqueue by cryptd_enqueue_request using preempt_disable/preempt_enable.
However cryptd_enqueue_request might be called from softirq context,
so add local_bh_disable/local_bh_enable to prevent data corruption and
panics.

Bug report at http://marc.info/?l=linux-crypto-vger&m=134858649616319&w=2

v2:
- Disable software interrupts instead of hardware interrupts
