Zero-length skcipher requests are valid no-ops, but MXS-DCP queues them.
Any document show it? if return 0 when cryptelen, it is async, no
call crypto_request_complete.
  Yes. CRYPTO_ALG_ASYNC means that the implementation may complete a
  request asynchronously, not that every request must do so.

  A return value of 0 indicates synchronous completion.  Only
  -EINPROGRESS and -EBUSY cause crypto_wait_req() to wait for the
  completion callback.  The existing fallback path relies on the same
  semantics.

  There is also a direct precedent in commit 8a4e047c6cc0
  ("crypto: marvell/cesa - Handle zero-length skcipher requests").
  Marvell CESA registers asynchronous skcipher algorithms but handles a
  zero-length request with:

          if (!req->cryptlen)
                  return 0;


Thanks,

When such a request reaches the worker, last_out_len remains zero. The
CBC completion path then subtracts AES_BLOCK_SIZE from this unsigned
value when updating the IV, causing the offset to underflow. On
decryption, the resulting source address precedes aes_in_buf.

Return success before enqueueing zero-length requests. This avoids the
invalid source access and leaves the IV unchanged for a no-op.
