Thanks Jan, the patch looks harmless enough. > --- ./arch/s390/crypto/crypt_s390.h.stfle > +++ ./arch/s390/crypto/crypt_s390.h > @@ -294,6 +294,10 @@ static inline int crypt_s390_func_availa > unsigned char status[16]; > int ret; > > + /* check if CPACF facility (bit 17) is available */ > + if (!(stfl() & 1ULL << (31 - 17))) > + return 0; However, the patch description doesn't exactly tell me what happens without this check. I mean, does the machine go up in flames if the check would have bailed :) That leads to my next question, is this something that must go into 2.6.26 or can it wait?
