[PATCH v2] drivers/crypto/nx: saves chaining value from co-processor

[Fionnuala Gunter]

This patch fixes a bug that is triggered when cts(cbc(aes)) is used with
nx-crypto driver on input larger than 32 bytes.

The chaining value from co-processor was not being saved. This value is
needed because it is used as the IV by cts(cbc(aes)).

Hi Fin,

I don't know anything about crypto so I can only critique you on your
patch submission technique :)  ...

Ideally this should identify the commit, so:

  This bug was introduced in the original submission (v3.5), commit
  856d673 "powerpc/crypto: AES-CBC mode routines for nx encryption".

Including the subject of the commit is handy in case the patch has been
backported somewhere, in which case the commit sha will be different.

It should definitely be part of the commit message, not below the "---".

And Ben might disagree but I think with a clear cut bug fix like this it
should include the CC to stable, so:

    Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 3.5+

cheers

Herbert, I assume you will handle this along with all the other NX fixes
and I can safely take them out of linuxppc patchwork ?

Cheers,
Ben.

Patch applied.  However your patch was totally white-space damaged.
I've fixed it this time, but please fix this in your future
submissions.
