Hi: Found this while playing with pcrypt. commit 435578aeaad5859dda8657e3ed2c1a5bc1e524ec Author: Herbert Xu <herbert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Jun 25 14:46:31 2009 +0800 crypto: skcipher - Fix request for sync algorithms When a sync givcipher algorithm is requested, if an async version of the same algorithm already exists, then we will loop forever without ever constructing the sync version based on a blkcipher. This is because we did not include the requested type/mask when getting a larval for the geniv algorithm that is to be constructed.
