Hi: This patch fixes unexpected EINVAL failures on recvmsg when encrypting/decrypting due to unaligned receive buffers. commit bc97e57eb21f8db55bf0e1f182d384e75b2e3c99 Author: Herbert Xu <herbert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Nov 30 17:04:31 2010 +0800 crypto: algif_skcipher - Handle unaligned receive buffer As it is if user-space passes through a receive buffer that's not aligned to to the cipher block size, we'll end up encrypting or decrypting a partial block which causes a spurious EINVAL to be returned. This patch fixes this by moving the partial block test after the af_alg_make_sg call.
