[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



4.19-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

This reverts commit 15a67115d487ea5cb8213915a4f75f58adb87cbc which is
commit 27016f75f5ed47e2d8e0ca75a8ff1f40bc1a5e27 upstream.

It is reported to cause problems in older kernels due to some crypto
drivers having the same name, so revert it here to fix the problems.
