Hi Herbert, Yeah I just realized that the call to crypto_shash_init() isn't necessary here. What it does is overwritten by crypto_ahash_import(). But this desc still needs to be initialized here because it's newly allocated by ahash_request_alloc(). We eventually calls the shash version of import() which needs desc as an argument. The real context to be imported is then derived from shash_desc_ctx(desc). desc is a sub-field of struct mcryptd_hash_request_ctx, which is again a sub-field of the bigger blob allocated by ahash_request_alloc(). The entire blob's size is set in sha1_mb_async_init_tfm(). So a better version is as follows: (just removed the call to crypto_shash_init()) >From 4bcb73adbef99aada94c49f352063619aa24d43d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rui Wang <rui.y.wang@intel.com> Date: Mon, 14 Dec 2015 17:22:13 +0800 Subject: [PATCH v2 1/4] crypto x86/sha1_mb: Fix load failure modprobe sha1_mb fails with the following message: modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'sha1_mb': No such device It is because it needs to set its statesize and implement its import() and export() interface. v2: remove redundant call to crypto_shash_init() Signed-off-by: Rui Wang <rui.y.wang@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
