Stephan Mueller 7d2c3f54e6 crypto: af_alg - remove locking in async callback
The code paths protected by the socket-lock do not use or modify the
socket in a non-atomic fashion. The actions pertaining the socket do not
even need to be handled as an atomic operation. Thus, the socket-lock
can be safely ignored.

This fixes a bug regarding scheduling in atomic as the callback function
may be invoked in interrupt context.

In addition, the sock_hold is moved before the AIO encrypt/decrypt
operation to ensure that the socket is always present. This avoids a
tiny race window where the socket is unprotected and yet used by the AIO
operation.

Finally, the release of resources for a crypto operation is moved into a
common function of af_alg_free_resources.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
