[PATCH] [crypto] XTS: use proper alignment.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The XTS blockmode uses a copy of the IV which is saved on the stack
and may or may not be properly aligned. If it is not, it will break
hardware cipher like the geode or padlock.
This patch moves the copy of IV to the private structre which has the
same aligment as the underlying cipher.
