Is this because valid_keylocker() needs to be checked in every kernel_fpu_begin() section separately, to avoid a race condition? If that's indeed the reason, can you explain that in the comment? > +static inline int xts_keylen(struct skcipher_request *req, u32 *keylen) > +{ > + struct aes_xts_ctx *ctx = aes_xts_ctx(crypto_skcipher_reqtfm(req)); > + > + if (ctx->crypt_ctx.key_length != ctx->tweak_ctx.key_length) > + return -EINVAL; > + > + *keylen = ctx->crypt_ctx.key_length; > + return 0; > +} This is odd.
