Could you please test this patch instead? ---8<--- A potential deadlock was reported with the config file at https://web.archive.org/web/20240522052129/https://0x0.st/XPN_.txt In this particular configuration, the deadlock doesn't exist because the warning triggered at a point before modules were even available. However, the deadlock can be real because any module loaded would invoke async_synchronize_full. The issue is spurious for software crypto algorithms which aren't themselves involved in async probing. However, it would be hard to avoid for a PCI crypto driver using async probing. In this particular call trace, the problem is easily avoided because the only reason the module is being requested during probing is the add_early_randomness call in the hwrng core. This feature is vestigial since there is now a kernel thread dedicated to doing exactly this. So remove add_early_randomness as it is no longer needed. Reported-by: Nícolas F. R. A.
