I have a question about this patch: is the "fixes" tag not quite
appropriate? In older kernel versions, such as v5.10, MSG_SPLICE_PAGES
is not yet supported, so there is no need for ctx->merge = 0. Perhaps
d3dccb0a487d ("crypto: af_alg - Fix merging of written data into spliced
pages") would be more suitable.

Best Regards,
