There are two IV-related issues:
(1) crypto API does not guarantee to provide an IV buffer that is DMAable,
thus it's incorrect to DMA map it
(2) for in-place decryption, since ciphertext is overwritten with
plaintext, updated IV (req->info) will contain the last block of plaintext
(instead of the last block of ciphertext)
While these two issues could be fixed separately, it's straightforward
to fix both in the same time - by using the {ablkcipher,aead}_edesc
extended descriptor to store the IV that will be fed to the crypto engine;
this allows for fixing (2) by saving req->src[last_block] in req->info
directly, i.e. without allocating yet another temporary buffer.
A side effect of the fix is that it's no longer possible to have the IV
contiguous with req->src or req->dst.
Code checking for this case is removed.

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.
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.
