Isn't it wrong to unmap the buffers when err < 0?  They won't have been mapped
yet, e.g. if the 'skcipher_walk_done(walk, -EINVAL)' case is hit.

This is really saying that the IV wasn't copied and that walk->buffer and
walk->page are both NULL.  But if walk->buffer is NULL then the IV wasn't
copied.  So this can be simplified to:

	if (!((unsigned long)walk->buffer | (unsigned long)walk->page))
		goto out;

Shouldn't this be static?  There's even a static declaration earlier in the
file.

skcipher_next_slow() is always setting up 'chunksize' bytes to be processed.
Isn't this wrong in the 'blocksize < chunksize' case because fewer than
'chunksize' bytes may need to be processed?

Is the PageHighMem() optimization really worthwhile?  It will skip kmap_atomic()
and hence preempt_disable() for non-highmem pages, so it may make it harder to
find bugs where users are sleeping when they shouldn't be.  It also seems
inconsistent that skcipher_map() will do this optimization but scatterwalk_map()
won't.

walk->page will be page-aligned, so there's no need for offset_in_page().  Also,
'n' has already been clamped to at most one page.  So AFAICS this can simply be
'walk->nbytes = n;'.

The naming is confusing: "done" vs. "complete".  They can easily be mixed up.
Would it make more sense to have something with "async" in the name for the
second one, like skcipher_walk_async_done()?
