[PATCH 4.13 031/109] crypto: scompress - dont sleep with preemption disabled

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Sun Sep 24 2017 - 16:53:17 EST


4.13-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 3c08377262880afc1621ab9cb6dbe7df47a6033d upstream.

Due to the use of per-CPU buffers, scomp_acomp_comp_decomp() executes
with preemption disabled, and so whether the CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_SLEEP
flag is set is irrelevant, since we cannot sleep anyway. So disregard
the flag, and use GFP_ATOMIC unconditionally.
