This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled

    crypto: s390 - fix concurrency issue in aes-ctr mode

to the linux-3.8.y-queue branch of the 3.8.y.z extended stable tree 
which can be found at:

 http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.8.y-queue

This patch is scheduled to be released in version 3.8.13.19.

If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please 
reply to this email.

Subject: crypto: s390 - fix concurrency issue in aes-ctr mode

commit 0519e9ad89e5cd6e6b08398f57c6a71d9580564c upstream.

The aes-ctr mode uses one preallocated page without any concurrency
protection. When multiple threads run aes-ctr encryption or decryption
this can lead to data corruption.

The patch introduces locking for the page and a fallback solution with
slower en/decryption performance in concurrency situations.
