Hi, Herbert,
I had ever heard from you that the only thing guaranteed in the
completion function of async ablkcipher cryption is the req->data has
the value you set before. The request pointer itself may be changed. But
in dm-crypt, I found they rely on request pointer in completion
function: kcry
Hi Linus:
This push fixes a 2.6.27 regression where the new test mechanism
can cause the optimised AES implementation on s390 to hang on
initial module load. The same thing can affect the VIA PadLock,
although modprobe alias ordering may have prevented it from
occurring.
Please pull from

Right, this is definitely not the way to fix this bug. Because
even if ARM completely supported chaining, you still have to fix
all the other archit
Hi Herbert,
your patch solves the hanging modprobe (tested on top of cryptodev-2.6).
Both modules (aes_generic and aes_s390) are loaded after the modprobe
aes_s390.
Thanks a lot, Jan

Right, this is definitely not the way to fix this bug. Because
even if ARM completely supported chaining, you still have to fix
all the other architectures as well.
