We found a hungtask bug in test_aead_vec_cfg as follows:

INFO: task cryptomgr_test:391009 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
"echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.

Kernel panic - not syncing: hung_task: blocked tasks

For padata_do_parallel, when the return err is 0 or -EBUSY, it will call
wait_for_completion(&wait->completion) in test_aead_vec_cfg. In normal
case, aead_request_complete() will be called in pcrypt_aead_serial and the
return err is 0 for padata_do_parallel. But, when pinst->flags is
PADATA_RESET, the return err is -EBUSY for padata_do_parallel, and it
won't call aead_request_complete(). Therefore, test_aead_vec_cfg will
hung at wait_for_completion(&wait->completion), which will cause
hungtask.

The problem comes as following:
(padata_do_parallel)                 |
    rcu_read_lock_bh();              |
    err = -EINVAL;                   |   (padata_replace)
                                     |     pinst->flags |= PADATA_RESET;
    err = -EBUSY                     |
    if (pinst->flags & PADATA_RESET) |
        rcu_read_unlock_bh()         |
        return err                   |

In order to resolve the problem, change the return err to -EINVAL when
pinst->flags is set PADATA_RESET.

Thanks for the patch.

So the issue here is that the Crypto API uses EBUSY for a specific
purpose but padata uses it too and they're getting confused with
each other.

I think what we should do is get pcrypt to check the error value from
padata_do_parallel, and if it's EBUSY then change it to something
else.

Thanks,
