Commit 71e52c278c54 ("crypto: arm64/aes-ce-gcm - operate on
two input blocks at a time") modified the granularity at which
the AES/GCM code processes its input to allow subsequent changes
to be applied that improve performance by using aggregation to
process multiple input blocks at once.
For this reason, it doubled the algorithm's 'chunksize' property
to 2 x AES_BLOCK_SIZE, but retained the non-SIMD fallback path that
processes a single block at a time. In some cases, this violates the
skcipher scatterwalk API, by calling skcipher_walk_done() with a
non-zero residue value for a chunk that is expected to be handled
in its entirety. This results in a WARN_ON() to be hit by the TLS
self test code, but is likely to break other user cases as well.
Unfortunately, none of the current test cases exercises this exact
code path at the moment.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
