Created attachment 316877 [details]
[CRYPTO] authenc: Fix async crypto crash in crypto_authenc_genicv()

We need to apply this patch first as the other one depends on this.

Looking at it herbert, I think I took a backported version of that change into what I posted to RHKL (since the origional patch had rejects).  Please review there and let me know with a thumbs up/down :)

Hi Neil:

You mean <20080916175806.GF15236.redhat.com>? Please see my reply on the list.  Basically it should say something like

struct aead_request *areq = req->data;

instead of getting areq from greq.
