Ok, so it's not what I thought it was. I did some more investigation today, and it seems that the ablk_ebc_alg is missing the ivsize setting and the crypto stack doesn't like that on a CRYPTO_ALG_TYPE_BLKCIPHER type. I added ivsize = AES_BLOCK_SIZE, and the error message goes away entirely. This also matches how ablk_cbc_alg works now, so I'm somewhat guessing this is correct. My understanding of the crypto layer is at best non-existent, so if I'm wrong please shout. I'll send a patch sortly. josh -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-crypto" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
