[REGRESSION][PATCH] Revert "pstore: migrate to crypto acomp interface"

["Guilherme G. Piccoli" <gpiccoli@igalia.com>]

This reverts commit e4f0a7ec586b7644107839f5394fb685cf1aadcc.

When using this new interface, both efi_pstore and ramoops
backends are unable to properly decompress dmesg if using
zstd, lz4 and lzo algorithms (and maybe more). It does succeed
with deflate though.

The message observed in the kernel log is:

[2.328828] pstore: crypto_acomp_decompress failed, ret = -22!

The pstore infrastructure is able to collect the dmesg with
both backends tested, but since decompression fails it's
unreadable. With this revert everything is back to normal.

Fixes: e4f0a7ec586b ("pstore: migrate to crypto acomp interface")

Hi Ard, Thorsten and pstore maintainers. I've found this yday
during pstore development - it was "hidden" since I was using
deflate. Tried some fixes (I plan to submit a cast fix for a
long-term issue later), but nothing I tried fixed this.

So, I thought in sending this revert - feel free to ignore it if
anybody comes with a proper fix for the async compress interface
proposed by Ard. The idea of the revert is because the 6.0-rc
cycle is nearly over, and would be nice to avoid introducing
this regression.

Also, I searched some mailing list discussions / submission of
the patch ("pstore: migrate to crypto acomp interface"), but
couldn't find it - can any of you point it to me in case it's
in some archive?

Thanks in advance, and sorry for reporting this so late in the
cycle, I wish I'd found it before.
Cheers,


Guilherme
