I'm sorry if I'm confused but as the cover letter stated, the patch
set is supposed to
go on top of the patch entitled  "crypto: tcrypt - fix S/G table for
test_aead_speed()"
which you stated will be applied
(https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9995727/) but
is not in the tree yet.

Apart from touching the same code that fix is needed because without it all the
AEAD speed tests crash so it's impossible to test my own additions.

If you apply Robert's patch to cryptodev my own patch set applies on
top of it OK.

Did I miss something?

Thanks,
Gilad
