[dm-devel] [PATCH v2] dm-crypt: replace RCU read-side section with rwsem

[Ondrej Kozina]

The lockdep splat bellow hints a bug in RCU usage in dm-crypt
since kernel keyring fn user_key_payload() is in fact a wrapper
for rcu_dereference_protected() which must not be called
with only rcu_read_lock() section mark.

Unfortunately there's currently no correct function in
kernel keyring subsystem we could call in while RCU read-side
section is used. Let's drop RCU in favour of rwsem
until proper function in kernel keyring is available.
