commit 4549f7e5aa27ffc2cba63b5db8842a3b486f5688 upstream.
The geode AES driver is heavily broken because it stores per-request
state in the transform context. So it will crash or produce the wrong
result if used by any of the many places in the kernel that issue
concurrent requests for the same transform object.
This driver is also implemented using the deprecated blkcipher API,
which makes it difficult to fix, and puts it among the drivers
preventing that API from being removed.
Convert this driver to use the skcipher API, and change it to not store
per-request state in the transform context.

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.
