This patch reworks and improves the zcrypt retry behavior: - The zcrypt_rescan_req counter has been removed. This counter variable has been increased on some transport errors and was used as a gatekeeper for AP bus rescans. - Rework of the zcrypt_process_rescan() function to not use the above counter variable any more. Instead now always the ap_bus_force_rescan() function is called (as this has been improved with a previous patch). - As the zcrpyt_process_rescan() function is called in all cprb send functions in case of the first attempt to send failed with ENODEV now before the next attempt to send an cprb is started. - Introduce a define ZCRYPT_WAIT_BINDINGS_COMPLETE_MS for the amount of milliseconds to have the zcrypt API wait for AP bindings complete. This amount has been reduced to 30s (was 60s). Some playing around showed that 30s is a really fair limit. The result of the above together with the patches to improve the AP scan bus functions is that after the first loop of cprb send retries when the result is a ENODEV the AP bus scan is always triggered (synchronous). If the AP bus scan detects changes in the configuration, all the send functions now retry when the first attempt was failing with ENODEV in the hope that now a suitable device has appeared. About concurrency: The ap_bus_force_rescan() uses a mutex to ensure only one active AP bus scan is running. Another caller of this function is blocked as long as the scan is running but does not cause yet another scan. Instead the result of the 'other' scan is used. This affects only tasks which run into an initial ENODEV. Tasks with successful delivery of cprbs will never invoke the bus scan and thus never get blocked by the mutex.

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.
