A 5.7 kernel hangs during a tcrypt test of padata that waits for an AEAD
request to finish. This is only seen on large machines running many
concurrent requests.
The issue is that padata never serializes the request. The removal of
the reorder_objects atomic missed that the memory barrier in
padata_do_serial() depends on it.
Upgrade the barrier from smp_mb__after_atomic to smp_mb to get correct
ordering again.
Fixes: 3facced7ae ("padata: remove reorder_objects")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
