Hi, algif_skcipher sends 127 sgl buffers for encryption regardless of how many buffers acctually have data to process, where the few first with valid len and the rest with zero len. This is not very eficient and may cause problems when algs do something like this without checking the buff lenght: for_each_sg(sgl, sg, sg_nents, i) sg_virt(sg) This patch marks the last one with data as the last one to process.
