Subject: crypto: algif_skcipher - Load TX SG list after waiting
From: Herbert Xu <herbert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 4f0414e54e4d1893c6f08260693f8ef84c929293 upstream.
We need to load the TX SG list in sendmsg(2) after waiting for
incoming data, not before.
[connoro@xxxxxxxxxx: backport to 3.18, where the relevant logic is
located in skcipher_recvmsg() rather than skcipher_recvmsg_sync()]
