Does this patch help? It applies cleanly to 3.2.x, if that version easier for you to reproduce the issue. ... cryptd_queue_worker attempts to prevent simultanious accesses to crypto-work queue by cryptd_enqueue_request using preempt_disable/preempt_enable. However cryptd_enqueue_request might be called from interrupt context, so add local_irq_save/local_irq_restore to prevent data corruption and panics. --- crypto/cryptd.c | 11 +++++++++-- 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-)
