Rather than accessing 'alg' directly to avoid the aliasing issue which leads to unnecessary reloads, use the __restrict keyword to explicitly tell the compiler that there is no aliasing. This generates equivalent if not superior code on x86 with gcc 12. Note that in skcipher_walk_virt the alg assignment is moved after might_sleep_if because that function is a compiler barrier and forces a reload.

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 reStructuredText 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.
