[PATCH v7 11/15] crypto: iaa - Fix for "deflate_generic_tfm" global being accessed without locks.

[Kanchana P Sridhar <kanchana.p.sridhar@intel.com>]

The mainline implementation of "deflate_generic_decompress" has a bug in
the usage of this global variable:

static struct crypto_comp *deflate_generic_tfm;

The "deflate_generic_tfm" is allocated at module init time, and freed
during module cleanup. Any calls to software decompress, for instance, if
descriptor allocation fails or job submission fails, will trigger this bug
in the deflate_generic_decompress() procedure. The problem is the
unprotected access of "deflate_generic_tfm" in this procedure. While
stress testing workloads under high memory pressure, with 1 IAA device
and "deflate-iaa" as the compressor, the descriptor allocation times out
and the software fallback route is taken. With multiple processes calling:

        ret = crypto_comp_decompress(deflate_generic_tfm,
                                     src, req->slen, dst, &req->dlen);

we end up with data corruption, that results in req->dlen being larger
than PAGE_SIZE. zswap_decompress() subsequently raises a kernel bug.

This bug can manifest under high contention and memory pressure situations
with high likelihood. This has been resolved by adding a mutex, which is
locked before accessing "deflate_generic_tfm" and unlocked after the
crypto_comp call is done.
