[PATCH] crypto: af_alg - Fix incorrect boolean values in af_alg_ctx
From: Eric Biggers
Date: Wed Sep 24 2025 - 15:27:13 EST
Commit 1b34cbbf4f01 ("crypto: af_alg - Disallow concurrent writes in
af_alg_sendmsg") changed some fields from bool to 1-bit bitfields.
However, some assignments to these fields, specifically 'more' and
'merge', assign values greater than 1. These relied on C's implicit
conversion to bool, such that zero becomes false and nonzero becomes
true. With a 1-bit bitfield instead, mod 2 of the value is taken
instead, resulting in 0 being assigned in some cases when 1 was
intended. Fix this by restoring the bool type.
