But skcipher_walk_virt() can fail afterwards, and then if the caller unconditionally accesses walk.iv, it's a use-after-free. xts-aes-neonbs doesn't set an alignmask, so currently it isn't affected by this despite unconditionally accessing walk.iv. However this is more subtle than desired, and unconditionally accessing walk.iv has caused a real problem in other algorithms. Thus, update xts-aes-neonbs to start checking the return value of skcipher_walk_virt().
