[PATCH v2] crypto: mxs-dcp: handle zero-length skcipher requests
From: Linmao Li
Date: Tue Sep 08 2026 - 06:28:25 EST
The generic ECB and CBC implementations return success for zero-length
requests, but MXS-DCP queues them anyway. 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, matching the
generic implementations. This avoids the invalid source access and
leaves the IV unchanged.

v2: Clarify commit message: describe zero-length return-0 as existing
generic ECB/CBC behavior rather than a general API rule (Frank Li).
