Even though empty requests are legal, they should never be done with no write(2) at all. Because this fundamentally breaks the use of a blocking read(2) to wait for more data. Granted this has been broken since 2017 but I'm not going to reintroduce this just because of a broken test case. So please either remove af_alg02 or fix it by adding a control message through sendmsg(2). Thanks, ---8<--- Some user-space programs rely on crypto requests that have no control metadata. This broke when a check was added to require the presence of control metadata with the ctx->init flag. This patch fixes the regression by setting ctx->init as long as one sendmsg(2) has been made, with or without a control message.
