Fwd: [PATCH] crypto: authencesn - Fix src offset when decrypting in-place

[Wolfgang Walter <linux@stwm.de>]

Hello,

the fix from Herbert Xu has landed in Torvald's tree as:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=1f48ad3b19a9dfc947868edda0bb8e48e5b5a8fa


Would it be possible to include it in the next stable releases? I using 
it already for v6.18.22 and v6.18.23 and it fixes ipsec with esn.

Yes this is broken.  Please try this patch:

The src SG list offset wasn't set properly when decrypting in-place,
fix it.
