[gregkh]

The patch below was submitted to be applied to the 5.18-stable tree.

I fail to see how this patch meets the stable kernel rules as found at
Documentation/process/stable-kernel-rules.rst.

I could be totally wrong, and if so, please respond to 
<stable@vger.kernel.org> and let me know why this patch should be
applied.  Otherwise, it is now dropped from my patch queues, never to be
seen again.

thanks,

greg k-h

Subject: [PATCH] crypto: qat - re-enable registration of algorithms

Re-enable the registration of algorithms after fixes to (1) use
pre-allocated buffers in the datapath and (2) support the
CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_BACKLOG flag.

This reverts commit 8893d27ffcaf6ec6267038a177cb87bcde4dd3de.
