[PATCH v2 5/9] crypto: skcipher - disallow en/decrypt for non-task or non-softirq context

From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org>
Date: 2021-03-03 01:42:19
Also in: linux-arm-kernel
Subsystem: crypto api, the rest · Maintainers: Herbert Xu, "David S. Miller", Linus Torvalds

In order to ensure that kernel mode SIMD routines will not need a scalar
fallback if they run with softirqs disabled, disallow any use of the
skcipher encrypt and decrypt routines from outside of task or softirq
context.
