Regression found on arm64 juno-r2 / qemu.
Following kernel crash reported on stable-rc 5.15.

Anders bisected this kernel crash and found the first bad commit,

Herbert Xu [off-list ref]
    crypto: api - Fix built-in testing dependency failures

That's commit adad556efcdd ("crypto: api - Fix built-in testing
dependency failures")

I am seeing the same for Tegra as well and bisect is pointing to the
above for me too.

Is this also an issue on 5.16-rc1?

I have not observed the same issue for 5.16-rc1.

Following the "Fixes: adad556efcdd" chain:

cad439fc040efe5f ("crypto: api - Do not create test larvals if manager
is disabled")
beaaaa37c664e9af ("crypto: api - Fix boot-up crash when crypto manager
is disabled")

Argh, yes, I didn't run my "check for fixes for patches in the queue"
script which would have caught these.  I'll go queue these up and a few
others that it just caught...

thanks,
