These don't seem right. It also has a weird code sequence:...quoted
Did something go wrong there?Yes, I fixed those up after doing some allmodconfig builds. Here is the final patch I actually pushed to Linus:That fixes up the sg_mark_end() bit, but it's still calling sg_init_table() just a few lines further down. Is that correct?Absolutely. It initially using the scatterlist for this crypto layer call: ret = crypto_blkcipher_decrypt_iv(&desc->desc, desc->frags, desc->frags, thislen); if (ret) return ret; then it reinits and sets the sglist to the values the caller wants.
Great, just wanted to double check that it was indeed correct! -- Jens Axboe
