5.8.0-rc1-next-20200618 was good. The test case ran fine.

Root cause analysis point to following commit:

commit f3c802a1f30013f8f723b62d7fa49eb9e991da23
    crypto: algif_aead - Only wake up when ctx->more is zero

Reverting this commit allows the test to PASS.

Yes that commit does change the behaviour if you don't terminate
your AEAD request by clearing the MSG_MORE flag.  AEAD does not
support chaining so each request must be sent in full before it
can be processed through recvmsg(2).  Setting the MSG_MORE flag
indicates that your request has not been sent in full.

Cheers,
