dm crypt: avoid accessing uninitialized tasklet

Browse source

commit d9a02e016a upstream.

When neither "no_read_workqueue" nor "no_write_workqueue" are enabled,
tasklet_trylock() in crypt_dec_pending() may still return false due to
an uninitialized state, and dm-crypt will unnecessarily do io completion
in io_queue workqueue instead of current context.

Fix this by adding an 'in_tasklet' flag to dm_crypt_io struct and
initialize it to false in crypt_io_init(). Set this flag to true in
kcryptd_queue_crypt() before calling tasklet_schedule(). If set
crypt_dec_pending() will punt io completion to a workqueue.

This also nicely avoids the tasklet_trylock/unlock hack when tasklets
aren't in use.

Fixes: 8e14f61015 ("dm crypt: do not call bio_endio() from the dm-crypt tasklet")
