Hi,

I wonder, it it makes sense to backport commit
e666d4e9ceec crypto: vmx - Use skcipher for ctr fallback
to v 4.14 stable kernel.
I'm using it in 4.12+.

These commits (somehow similar) has been backported to 4.10.2:
5839f555fa57 crypto: vmx - Use skcipher for xts fallback
c96d0a1c47ab crypto: vmx - Use skcipher for cbc fallback

I think so.  Here is the patch which should be applied for all
kernels since 4.10 up to and including 4.14:

Thanks a lot for confirmation and preparing the patch!


Kind regards,
Petr
