[PATCH 4.10 095/167] crypto: xts - Propagate NEED_FALLBACK bit

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Fri Mar 10 2017 - 04:36:01 EST


4.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Herbert Xu <herbert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 89027579bc6c2febbcc9c2f9d5069adf71539e4b upstream.

When we're used as a fallback algorithm, we should propagate
the NEED_FALLBACK bit when searching for the underlying ECB mode.

This just happens to fix a hang too because otherwise the search
may end up loading the same module that triggered this XTS creation.

Fixes: f1c131b45410 ("crypto: xts - Convert to skcipher")
