Subject: [PATCH v3 5/8] crypto: qce - Use a fallback for AES-CTR with a partial final block
Date: Wed, 17 Jun 2026 17:49:34 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260617-qce-fix-self-tests-v3-5-ecc2b4dedcfd@oss.qualcomm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260617-qce-fix-self-tests-v3-0-ecc2b4dedcfd@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.

Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
Fixes: bb5c863b3d3c ("crypto: qce - fix ctr-aes-qce block, chunk sizes")
