commit655ef638a2upstream. Since commitc662b043cd("crypto: af_alg/hash: Support MSG_SPLICE_PAGES"), the crypto core may pass large scatterlists spanning multiple pages to drivers supporting ahash operations. As a result, a driver can now receive large ahash requests. The SEC1 engine has a limitation where a single descriptor cannot process more than 32k of data. The current implementation attempts to handle the entire request within a single descriptor, which leads to failures raised by the driver: "length exceeds h/w max limit" Address this limitation by splitting large ahash requests into multiple descriptors, each respecting the 32k hardware limit. This allows processing arbitrarily large requests.

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.
