FAILED: patch "[PATCH] crypto: qat - disable registration of algorithms" failed to apply to 4.9-stable tree

[gregkh]

The patch below does not apply to the 4.9-stable tree.
If someone wants it applied there, or to any other stable or longterm
tree, then please email the backport, including the original git commit
id to <stable@vger.kernel.org>.

thanks,

Subject: [PATCH] crypto: qat - disable registration of algorithms

The implementations of aead and skcipher in the QAT driver do not
support properly requests with the CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_BACKLOG flag set.
If the HW queue is full, the driver returns -EBUSY but does not enqueue
the request.
This can result in applications like dm-crypt waiting indefinitely for a
completion of a request that was never submitted to the hardware.

To avoid this problem, disable the registration of all crypto algorithms
in the QAT driver by setting the number of crypto instances to 0 at
configuration time.
