From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx> It isn't clearly defined what happens if you read from an AF_ALG request socket without previously sending the control data to begin an encryption or decryption operation. On some kernels the read will return 0, while on others it will block. Testing this corner case isn't the purpose of af_alg02; it just wants to try to encrypt a zero-length message. So, change it to explicitly send a zero-length message with control data. This fixes the test failure reported at https://lkml.kernel.org/r/CA+G9fYtebf78TH-XpqArunHc1L6s9mHdLEbpY1EY9tSyDjp=sg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fixing the test in this way was also previously suggested at https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200702033221.GA19367@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Note, this patch doesn't change the fact that the read() still blocks on pre-4.14 kernels (which is a kernel bug), and thus the timeout logic in the test is still needed.
