Hi Ard, Thanks for the prompt reply. With the patch, there is no panic anymore. But it seems that the encryption/decryption is not successful anyway.
As Herbert points out, "If the page allocation fails in blkcipher_walk_next it'll simply switch over to processing it block by block". So does that mean the encryption/decryption should be successful even if the page allocation fails? Please correct me if I misunderstand anything. Thanks in advance.
