Hi Nicolai, Robert, Herbert, all, I would like to revive this older upstream email thread. I would like to address notes from reviewers (namely, Robert) by additional patches so the whole patchset can be accepted. This should ease our future kernel work re: FIPS. The below 2 patches address (I hope) both notes Robert and Herbert have provided (thanks!). I hope the whole patchset can be accepted then. Logically my 2 patches should follow [PATCH 1/4] and be patches 2 and 3. Herbert is it possible to reorder them when accepting? Thank you! and Best regards, Vladis Vladis Dronov (2): crypto: xts - drop xts_check_key() crypto: xts - drop redundant xts key check
