I have send these vectors about a week ago. Do you have results?

Note, apart from the two comments  I sent today, I do not see any big problems 
in the patch set. However, I would like to see the test results.

To give you a helping hand, here is the test invocation of the test vectors I 
sent -- please replace struct kccavs_test->something with just "something" 
holding the values from the test vectors:

struct kccavs_data {
	char *data;
	u64 len;
};

/*
 * input: name
 * input seed: 48 bytes in kccavs_test->key
 * 	       from cprng_reset:
 *  This is the cprng_registered reset method the seed value is
 *  interpreted as the tuple { V KEY DT}
 *
 * output: one round of 32 bytes in kccavs_test->data
 */
static int kccavs_test_x931rng(size_t nbytes) {

	int size;
	int err;
	struct kccavs_data *key = &kccavs_test->key;
	struct kccavs_data *data = &kccavs_test->data;

	/* we scratch the buffer if one should exist */
	memset(data->data, 0, MAXDATALEN);
	data->len = 16;

	if (kccavs_test->rng == NULL) {
		kccavs_test->rng = crypto_alloc_rng(kccavs_test->name, 0, 0);
		if (IS_ERR(kccavs_test->rng)){
			int err = PTR_ERR(kccavs_test->rng);
			kccavs_test->rng = NULL;
			pr_info(DRIVER_NAME": could not allocate RNG handle "
				"for %s\n", kccavs_test->name);
			return err;
		}

		/* the ANSI X9.31 has seedsize
		 * DEFAULT_PRNG_KSZ + 2*DEFAULT_BLK_SZ
		 */
		size = crypto_rng_seedsize(kccavs_test->rng);
		if (size != 48) {
			pr_info(DRIVER_NAME": seedsize not equal to 48: %d\n", 
size);
			kccavs_free_cipher();
			return -EAGAIN;
		}
		if (size != key->len) {
			pr_info(DRIVER_NAME": size of supplied seed not equal 
to required size\n");
			kccavs_free_cipher();
			return -EINVAL;
		}

		err = crypto_rng_reset(kccavs_test->rng, key->data, size);
		if (err) {
			pr_info(DRIVER_NAME": Failed to reset rng\n");
			kccavs_free_cipher();
			return -EAGAIN;
		}
	}

	/* get one RNG round of data */
	err = crypto_rng_get_bytes(kccavs_test->rng, data->data, data->len);
	if (err <= 0) {
		pr_info(DRIVER_NAME": could not obtain random data\n");
		kccavs_free_cipher();
		return err;
	}
	
	/* do not free the rng handle - we keep until reseeded or terminated 
*/

	return 0;
}


Note, the test vectors I sent to you are two-fold. The larger set is just a 
"known-answer test" where you invoke the X9.31 with the input data and get the 
output data right away.

The MCT test vectors are "monte-carlo tests". They are invoked as follows: you 
read 10000 16 byte chunks -- the 10000th value is the one that should match 
with the expected result.


Note, the seed is to be constructed from the test vectors by simply 
concatenating them as outlined in the comment above. The following Perl code 
illustrates that:

my $seed = $v . $key . $dt;
