Unlike algif_aead which is always issued in one go (thus limiting the maximum size of the request), algif_skcipher has always allowed unlimited input data by cutting them up as necessary and feeding the fragments to the underlying algorithm one at a time. However, because of deficiencies in the API, this has been broken for most stream ciphers such as arc4 or chacha. This is because they have an internal state in addition to the IV that must be preserved in order to continue processing. Fix this by using the new skcipher state API.

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.
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.
