[RFC PATCH 6/7] crypto: x86/ghash - limit FPU preemption

From: Robert Elliott
Date: Thu Oct 06 2022 - 18:32:51 EST


As done by the ECB and CBC helpers in arch/x86/crypt/ecb_cbc_helpers.h,
limit the number of bytes processed between kernel_fpu_begin() and
kernel_fpu_end() calls.

Those functions call preempt_disable() and preempt_enable(), so
the CPU core is unavailable for scheduling while running, leading to:
rcu: INFO: rcu_preempt detected expedited stalls on CPUs/tasks: {12-... } 22 jiffies s: 277 root: 0x1/.

Fixes: 0e1227d356e9 ("crypto: ghash - Add PCLMULQDQ accelerated implementation")
