My problem is that crypto selftest, for each buffer where I need to do a cipher operation,
concat a poison buffer to check that device does write beyond buffer.

But the dma_map_sg(FROM_DEVICE) corrupts this poison buffer and crypto selftests fails thinking my device did a buffer overrun.

So you mean that on SoC D1, this crypto API check strategy is impossible ?
