Currently, conversion of SW S/G table into HW S/G layout relies on nents returned by sg_nents_for_len(sg, len). However this leaves the possibility of HW S/G referencing more data then needed: since buffer length in HW S/G entries is filled using sg_dma_len(sg), the last entry in HW S/G table might have a length that is bigger than needed for the crypto request. This way of S/G table conversion is fine, unless after converting a table more entries have to be appended to the HW S/G table. In this case, crypto engine would access data from the S/G entry having the incorrect length, instead of advancing in the S/G table. This situation doesn't exist, but the upcoming implementation of IV update for skcipher algorithms needs to add a S/G entry after req->dst S/G (corresponding to output IV).

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.
