On my Allwinner D1 nezha, the sun8i-ce fail self-tests due to: alg: skcipher: cbc-des3-sun8i-ce encryption overran dst buffer on test vector 0 In fact the buffer is not overran by device but by the dma_map_single() operation. To prevent any corruption of the poisoned data, simply flush them before giving the buffer to the tested driver.
