Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] Propagate fallback bit for cbc and ctr

Hi Hebert,

For v2:

- fixed the memory leakage in cbc.
- included crypto/algapi.h in crypto/cbc.c for crypto_requires_off();
- ERR_CAST instead PTR_ERR in ctr.
- Also propagated the fallback bit for rfc3686.

Marcelo Henrique Cerri (2):
crypto: cbc - Propagate NEED_FALLBACK bit
crypto: ctr - Propagate NEED_FALLBACK bit

Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] crypto: cbc - Propagate NEED_FALLBACK bit

When requesting a fallback algorithm, we should propagate the
NEED_FALLBACK bit when search for the underlying algorithm.

This will prevents drivers from allocating unnecessary fallbacks that
are never called. For instance, currently the vmx-crypto driver will use
the following chain of calls when calling the fallback implementation:

p8_aes_cbc -> cbc(p8_aes) -> aes-generic

However p8_aes will always delegate its calls to aes-generic. With this
patch, p8_aes_cbc will be able to use cbc(aes-generic) directly as its
fallback. The same applies to aes_s390.
