As registration is usually carried out during module init, this is a context where as little work as possible should be carried out. Testing may trigger module loads of underlying components, which could even lead back to the module that is registering at the moment. This may lead to dead-locks outside of the Crypto API. Avoid this by not waiting for the tests to complete. They will be scheduled but completion will be asynchronous. Any users will still wait for completion.

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 reStructuredText 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.
