hwrng kthread can be waiting via hwrng_fillfn for some data from a rng like virtio-rng: hwrng D ffff880093e17798 0 382 2 0x00000000 ... Call Trace: [<ffffffff817339c6>] wait_for_completion_killable+0x96/0x210 [<ffffffffa00aa1b7>] virtio_read+0x57/0xf0 [virtio_rng] [<ffffffff814f4a35>] hwrng_fillfn+0x75/0x130 [<ffffffff810aa243>] kthread+0xf3/0x110 And when some user program tries to read the /dev node in this state, we get: rngd D ffff880093e17798 0 762 1 0x00000004 ... Call Trace: [<ffffffff817351ac>] mutex_lock_nested+0x15c/0x3e0 [<ffffffff814f478e>] rng_dev_read+0x6e/0x240 [<ffffffff81231958>] __vfs_read+0x28/0xe0 [<ffffffff81232393>] vfs_read+0x83/0x130 And this is indeed unkillable. So use mutex_lock_interruptible instead of mutex_lock in rng_dev_read and exit immediatelly when interrupted. And possibly return already read data, if any (as POSIX allows). v2: use ERESTARTSYS instead of EINTR Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby <jslaby@suse.cz> Cc: Matt Mackall <mpm@selenic.com> Cc: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Cc: <linux-crypto@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
