When requesting a fallback algorithm, we should propagate the NEED_FALLBACK bit when search for the underlying algorithm. This will prevents drivers from allocating unnecessary fallbacks that are never called. For instance, currently the vmx-crypto driver will use the following chain of calls when calling the fallback implementation: p8_aes_ctr -> ctr(p8_aes) -> aes-generic However p8_aes will always delegate its calls to aes-generic. With this patch, p8_aes_ctr will be able to use ctr(aes-generic) directly as its fallback. The same applies to aes_s390.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
