commit4a4b8721f1upstream. The stated reasons for separating fscrypt_master_key::mk_secret_sem from the standard semaphore contained in every 'struct key' no longer apply. First, due to commita992b20cd4("fscrypt: add fscrypt_prepare_new_inode() and fscrypt_set_context()"), fscrypt_get_encryption_info() is no longer called from within a filesystem transaction. Second, due to commitd3ec10aa95("KEYS: Don't write out to userspace while holding key semaphore"), the semaphore for the "keyring" key type no longer ranks above page faults. That leaves performance as the only possible reason to keep the separate mk_secret_sem. Specifically, having mk_secret_sem reduces the contention between setup_file_encryption_key() and FS_IOC_{ADD,REMOVE}_ENCRYPTION_KEY. However, these ioctls aren't executed often, so this doesn't seem to be worth the extra complexity. Therefore, simplify the locking design by just using key->sem instead of mk_secret_sem.

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.
