Re: [PATCH v2] crypto: tcrypt - Fix memory leaks/crashes in multibuffer hash speed test

[Megha Dey]

I tested the latest cryptodev tree on my haswell machine and this is
what I see:
[   40.402834] modprobe tcrypt mode=422
[   40.403105] testing speed of multibuffer sha1 (sha1_mb)
[   40.403108] test  0 (   16 byte blocks,   16 bytes per update,   1
updates):  32271 cycles/operation,  252 cycles/byte
[   40.403118] At least one hashing failed ret=-115
[   43.218712] modprobe tcrypt mode=423
[   43.218712] testing speed of multibuffer sha256 (sha256_mb)
[   43.218715] test  0 (   16 byte blocks,   16 bytes per update,   1
updates): 106965 cycles/operation,  835 cycles/byte
[   43.218747] At least one hashing failed ret=-115
[   45.346657] modprobe tcrypt mode=424
[   45.346657] testing speed of multibuffer sha512 (sha512_mb)
[   45.346660] test  0 (   16 byte blocks,   16 bytes per update,   1
updates):  43179 cycles/operation,  337 cycles/byte
[   45.346673] At least one hashing failed ret=-115

Don't think this is expected, is it?

This is the patch which might have an issue?
