From ab6bf4e5e5e4298e8649e635bee25542cccbfd97 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marek Vasut Date: Fri, 14 Mar 2014 02:37:04 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] crypto: hash - Fix the pointer voodoo in unaligned ahash Add documentation for the pointer voodoo that is happening in crypto/ahash.c in ahash_op_unaligned(). This code is quite confusing, so add a beefy chunk of documentation. Moreover, make sure the mangled request is completely restored after finishing this unaligned operation. This means restoring all of .result, .base.data and .base.complete . Also, remove the crypto_completion_t complete = ... line present in the ahash_op_unaligned_done() function. This type actually declares a function pointer, which is very confusing. Finally, yet very important nonetheless, make sure the req->priv is free()'d only after the original request is restored in ahash_op_unaligned_done(). The req->priv data must not be free()'d before that in ahash_op_unaligned_finish(), since we would be accessing previously free()'d data in ahash_op_unaligned_done() and cause corruption.
