Why does execution of icainfo command blocks everything after updating libica package to 3.0.2-2.el7_4.1.s390x version?

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • System was updated recently along with libica to 3.0.2-2.el7_4.1.s390x version.
  • Cryptographic hardware stops working after running the icainfo command and then everything is blocked.
  • After activation of FIPS as mentioned here, the icainfo command works again.
  • This shows that Red Hat compilation of this module should have the option fips_enable as mentioned here
  • Is there any way to disable FIPS in the libica library instead of enabling FIPS in whole system?
  • Is this hang/blockage happening because of FIPS in libica library ?

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.4
