Subject: [PATCH v11 2/4] crypto: qce - Use a fallback for AES-CTR with a partial final block
Date: Fri, 16 Oct 2026 16:11:47 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261016-qce-fixes-skcipher-v11-2-d13ddfe609a4@oss.qualcomm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261016-qce-fixes-skcipher-v11-0-d13ddfe609a4@oss.qualcomm.com>
ctr(aes) is registered with a block size of 1, so the crypto API hands
the driver requests whose length is not a multiple of the AES block
size. The crypto engine, however, stalls waiting for a full block of
input in that case, leaving the operation incomplete and failing the
request (and the crypto self-tests) with a hardware operation error.
Route AES-CTR requests with a partial final block to the software
fallback, which already handles the other cases the engine cannot.
