Changes in the SW cts (ciphertext stealing) code in
commit 0605c41cc5 ("crypto: cts - Convert to skcipher")
revealed a problem in the CAAM driver:
when cts(cbc(aes)) is executed and cts runs in SW,
cbc(aes) is offloaded in CAAM; cts encrypts the last block
in atomic context and CAAM incorrectly decides to use GFP_KERNEL
for memory allocation.
Fix this by allowing GFP_KERNEL (sleeping) only when MAY_SLEEP flag is
set, i.e. remove MAY_BACKLOG flag.
We split the fix in two parts - first is sent to -stable, while the
second is not (since there is no known failure case).

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
