[PATCH 3.2 81/87] crypto: algif_skcipher - Fix race condition in skcipher_check_key

From: Ben Hutchings <hidden>
Date: 2016-02-09 00:11:45
Also in: lkml

3.2.77-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

commit 1822793a523e5d5730b19cc21160ff1717421bc8 upstream.

We need to lock the child socket in skcipher_check_key as otherwise
two simultaneous calls can cause the parent socket to be freed.
