| |
2.6.29-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------
From: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
commit 37fc334cc8eb84f5fe0a5a1cbe6a6a68049e142a upstream.
The commit a760a6656e6f00bb0144a42a048cf0266646e22c (crypto: api - Fix module load deadlock with fallback algorithms) broke the auto-loading of algorithms that require fallbacks. The problem is that the fallback mask check is missing an and which cauess bits that should be considered to interfere with the result.
