[PATCH] crypto: tcrypt: clamp num_mb to avoid divide-by-zero
From: Saeed Mirzamohammadi
Date: Mon Mar 02 2026 - 18:59:45 EST
Passing num_mb=0 to the multibuffer speed tests leaves test_mb_aead_cycles()
and test_mb_acipher_cycles() dividing by (8 * num_mb). With sec=0 (the
default), the module prints "1 operation in ..." and hits a divide-by-zero
fault.
Force num_mb to at least 1 during module init and warn the caller so the
warm-up loop and the final report stay well-defined.
To reproduce:
sudo modprobe tcrypt mode=600 num_mb=0
