Vinay Kumar Yadav 0cada33241 net/tls: fix race condition causing kernel panic
tls_sw_recvmsg() and tls_decrypt_done() can be run concurrently.
// tls_sw_recvmsg()
	if (atomic_read(&ctx->decrypt_pending))
		crypto_wait_req(-EINPROGRESS, &ctx->async_wait);
	else
		reinit_completion(&ctx->async_wait.completion);

//tls_decrypt_done()
  	pending = atomic_dec_return(&ctx->decrypt_pending);

  	if (!pending && READ_ONCE(ctx->async_notify))
  		complete(&ctx->async_wait.completion);

Consider the scenario tls_decrypt_done() is about to run complete()

	if (!pending && READ_ONCE(ctx->async_notify))

and tls_sw_recvmsg() reads decrypt_pending == 0, does reinit_completion(),
then tls_decrypt_done() runs complete(). This sequence of execution
results in wrong completion. Consequently, for next decrypt request,
it will not wait for completion, eventually on connection close, crypto
resources freed, there is no way to handle pending decrypt response.

This race condition can be avoided by having atomic_read() mutually
exclusive with atomic_dec_return(),complete().Intoduced spin lock to
ensure the mutual exclution.

Addressed similar problem in tx direction.

v1->v2:
- More readable commit message.
- Corrected the lock to fix new race scenario.
- Removed barrier which is not needed now.

README

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.
