Driver does not properly handle the case when signals interrupt wait_for_completion_interruptible(): -it does not check for return value -completion structure is allocated on stack; in case a signal interrupts the sleep, it will go out of scope, causing the worker thread (caam_jr_dequeue) to fail when it accesses it wait_for_completion_interruptible() is replaced with uninterruptable wait_for_completion(). We choose to block all signals while waiting for I/O (device executing the split key generation job descriptor) since the alternative - in order to have a deterministic device state - would be to flush the job ring (aborting *all* in-progress jobs).

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.
