Also, does that mean that padlock_sha has similar problem?
It does not seem to reserve any space for fallback __ctx and it calls
init()/update()/export() with padlock_sha_desc's fallback:
struct padlock_sha_desc {
struct shash_desc fallback;
};
static struct shash_alg sha1_alg = {
.descsize = sizeof(struct padlock_sha_desc),Actually I was wrong when I said that the API couldn't handle a dynamic fallback. It can and padlock-sha does the right thing by updating descsize in the cra_init function. So this is what vmx should do too.
