Hi,

FYI: v3.10.97, v3.14.61 and 3.18.27 are also affected.

v4.3.6 works. Looks like the patch set is only compatible with >=linux-4.3.

v3.12.54 works because it doesn't contain the patch in question.

Hi,

indeed, because whoever backported this patchset skipped two patches
from series (because of skcipher interface file was introduced later).

Ping?

I always thought that breaking userspace is not the way mainline kernel
operates and here we break even stable tree...

Anyone planning to release new kernel version with properly backported patches?
There is already a lot of downstream distro bugs reported.

Hi Milan,

I'd really like to see an ack on your patch by one of the crypto/ maintainers
before putting it into a -stable release.


Thanks,
Sasha
