Yes, checkpath was run.

As you're splitting the patches anyways, this may not be
needed anymore, but below is guideline for subject line.

https://docs.kernel.org/process/submitting-patches.html

"For these reasons, the summary must be no more than 70-75 characters,
and it must describe both what the patch changes, as well as why the
patch might be necessary.
It is challenging to be both succinct and descriptive, but that is what
a well-written summary should do."

I guess check patch is not checking that.

Also avoid top posting,

Read "Use trimmed interleaved replies in email discussions" from above
document.

Not sure what you mean by "some indentation changes.(This can't go with 
fixes patch, will just add the noise)"

Thanks.

As this is a bug fix it should have a Fixes: tag, and probably a stable
Cc as well.

But that diffstat is really large for a bug fix. Is there no way to fix
the issue in a smaller patch? Even if that is just disabling the feature
until it can be fixed in subsequent commits?

cheers

The commit message says "The fix is to register algs as SIMD modules"

and

"A new module rfc4106(gcm(aes)) is also added."

and I also see some indentation changes.(This can't go with fixes patch,
will just add the noise)

Would suggest to break the patch in three.

I see a big subject line, have you ran the checkpatch?
