Booting 6.17 with fips=1 crashes with this commit -- see below.

The crash is different being on 6.17 (below) and on the commit --
9d50a25eeb05c45fef46120f4527885a14c84fb2.

6.17 minus that one makes it work again.

Any ideas?

The purpose of the above commit is to remove the SHA1 algorithm
if you boot with fips=1. As net/ipv6/seg6_hmac.c depends on the
sha1 algorithm, it will obviously fail if SHA1 isn't there.

Ok, but I don't immediately see what is one supposed to do to boot 6.17 distro (openSUSE) kernel with fips=1 then?
