The 'done' tasklet handler used to check the 'BUSY' flag to either finalize the processing of a crypto request which had just completed or manage the crypto queue to start the next crypto request. On request R1 completion, the driver calls atmel_sha_finish_req(), which: 1 - clears the 'BUSY' flag since the hardware is no longer used and is ready again to process new crypto requests. 2 - notifies the above layer (the client) about the completion of the asynchronous crypto request R1 by calling its base.complete() callback. 3 - schedules the 'done' task to check the crypto queue and start to process the next crypto request (the 'BUSY' flag is supposed to be cleared at that moment) if such a pending request exists. However step 2 might wake the client up so it can now ask our driver to process a new crypto request R2. This request is enqueued by calling the atmel_sha_handle_queue() function, which sets the 'BUSY' flags then starts to process R2. If the 'done' tasklet, scheduled by step 3, runs just after, it would see that the 'BUSY' flag is set then understand that R2 has just completed, which is wrong! So the state of 'BUSY' flag is not a proper way to detect and handle crypto request completion. This patch fixes this race condition by using two different tasklets, one to handle the crypto request completion events, the other to manage the crypto queue if needed.
