On older kernels each ablkcipher gets an geniv instantiated on top of it. Therefore the ablkcipher itself is never tested, only the geniv is tested. We have since got rid of the geniv and now test the ablkcipher directly. There was a period where we didn't generate a geniv but I forgot to also remove the below chunk which skipped testing the ablkcipher. > diff --git a/crypto/algboss.c b/crypto/algboss.c > index 6e39d9c..ccb85e1 100644 > --- a/crypto/algboss.c > +++ b/crypto/algboss.c > @@ -247,12 +247,8 @@ static int cryptomgr_schedule_test(struct crypto_alg > *alg) > memcpy(param->alg, alg->cra_name, sizeof(param->alg)); > type = alg->cra_flags; > - /* This piece of crap needs to disappear into per-type test hooks. */ > - if (!((type ^ CRYPTO_ALG_TYPE_BLKCIPHER) & > - CRYPTO_ALG_TYPE_BLKCIPHER_MASK) && !(type & CRYPTO_ALG_GENIV) && > - ((alg->cra_flags & CRYPTO_ALG_TYPE_MASK) == > - CRYPTO_ALG_TYPE_BLKCIPHER ? alg->cra_blkcipher.ivsize : > - alg->cra_ablkcipher.ivsize)) > + /* Do not test internal algorithms. */ > + if (type & CRYPTO_ALG_INTERNAL) > type |= CRYPTO_ALG_TESTED; > > Its bit confusing for me. Are we supposed to declared it as > "CRYPTO_ALG_TYPE_BLKCIPHER" for older kernels. It should definitely be ABLKCIPHER in your case. Even if the test is skipped your driver should still work.
