The recv path of secure mode is intertwined with that of crc mode. While it's slightly more efficient that way (the ciphertext is read into the destination buffer and decrypted in place, thus avoiding two potentially heavy memory allocations for the bounce buffer and the corresponding sg array), it isn't really amenable to changes. Sacrifice that edge and align with the send path which always uses a full-sized bounce buffer (currently there is no other way -- if the kernel crypto API ever grows support for streaming (piecewise) en/decryption for GCM [1], we would be able to easily take advantage of that on both sides).

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.
