These three events can race when pcrypt is used multiple times in a
template ("pcrypt(pcrypt(...))"):
1. [taskA] The caller makes the crypto request via crypto_aead_encrypt()
2. [kworkerB] padata serializes the inner pcrypt request
3. [kworkerC] padata serializes the outer pcrypt request
3 might finish before the call to crypto_aead_encrypt() returns in 1,
resulting in two possible issues.
First, a use-after-free of the crypto request's memory when, for
example, taskA writes to the outer pcrypt request's padata->info in
pcrypt_aead_enc() after kworkerC completes the request.
Second, the outer pcrypt request overwrites the inner pcrypt request's
return code with -EINPROGRESS, making a successful request appear to
fail. For instance, kworkerB writes the outer pcrypt request's
padata->info in pcrypt_aead_done() and then taskA overwrites it
in pcrypt_aead_enc().
Avoid both situations by delaying the write of padata->info until after
the inner crypto request's return code is checked. This prevents the
use-after-free by not touching the crypto request's memory after the
next-inner crypto request is made, and stops padata->info from being
overwritten.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
