Glad to see that people are running these tests! I actually already
applied
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-crypto/20251219085259.1163048-1-davidgow@xxxxxxxxxx/
for this issue, which should be sufficient by itself. Might be worth
increasing the iteration count as well, but I'd like to check whether
any other tests could use a similar change as well.
