Thanks.

I would say that the checker has problem to follow per cpu pointers...

In this case
static struct crypt_cpu *this_crypt_config(struct crypt_config *cc)
{
        return this_cpu_ptr(cc->cpu);

Otherwise it must see that the struct is allocated in
crypt_alloc_req(cc, ctx);

And mempool allocation should never return NULL here.
