This looks wrong. What does cap decrypted_data, and why strnlen()
is not used?

Using pr_err() is probably wrong here and has different prefix
than elsewhere in the file (also most of other uses of pr_err()
are wrong apparently). Nothing bad is really happening.

And who does make any sense of that error message anyway?

For one, I don't understand it.
