Hello,

could you please add this patch (already landed in 3.18-rc1) to 
following stable kernels:

3.17.x, 3.14.x, 3.12.x, 3.4.x, 3.2.x?

The bugfix allows usage of crypto API socket on archs with PAGE_SIZE >= 
32 KiB (I have a typo in original changelog).

Some background for the bug (with reproducer and report from users)
- http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-crypto@vger.kernel.org/msg11787.html
- http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1160289

Thank you

     crypto: algif - avoid excessive use of socket buffer in skcipher

     On archs with PAGE_SIZE >= 64 KiB the function skcipher_alloc_sgl()
     fails with -ENOMEM no matter what user space actually requested.
     This is caused by the fact sock_kmalloc call inside the function tried
     to allocate more memory than allowed by the default kernel socket 
buffer
     size (kernel param net.core.optmem_max).
