That code crashes with the following stacktrace:

[ 2000.433502] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at
(null)

This crash is totally different from the previous crash you sent.
This one is expected because you're calling givencrypt on an
algorithm that has already been converted.

Once converted they no longer have a givencrypt function and
calling crypto_aead_givencrypt on them will crash.

Thank you, that was the clarification I am looking for. Please disregard all 
communication on the givcrypt API then.

Cheers,
