Thanks for the help.

May I also ask where I can find the generated IV when using rfc4106(gcm(aes))? 
The old invocation used aead_givcrypt_set_crypt(req, iv->data, 0) which 
delivered the 64 bit value generated by seqiv.

With the new invocation, I use the SGL with AD || IV space || PT

	ivlen = crypto_aead_ivsize(tfm);
	sg_init_table(sg, 3);
	sg_set_buf(&sg[0], aead_assoc->data, aead_assoc->len);
	/* iv->data should be filled by seqiv */
	sg_set_buf(&sg[1], iv->data, ivlen);
	sg_set_buf(&sg[2], data->data, data->len +
		   (enc ? authsize : 0));
	aead_request_set_ad(req, aead_assoc->len, 0);
	aead_request_set_crypt(req, sg, sg, data->len + ivlen, iv->data);

But in iv->data, there is nothing to be found after performing the encrypt 
operation.

Thanks a lot.
