For example below is one such input plain text vector from testmgr.h for gcm. I dump it before and after calling setkey function as follows in test_aead () function:

Good point. Now that the test engine is used at registration
time we can no longer use statically allocated buffers. Please
try this patch and see if it helps.

crypto: testmgr - Dynamically allocate xbuf and axbuf

We currently allocate temporary memory that is used for testing
statically. This renders the testing engine non-reentrant. As
algorithms may nest, i.e., one may construct another in order to
carry out a part of its operation, this is unacceptable. For
example, it has been reported that an AEAD implementation allocates
a cipher in its setkey function, which causes it to fail during
testing as the temporary memory is overwritten.

This patch replaces the static memory with dynamically allocated
buffers. We need a maximum of 16 pages so this slightly increases
the chances of an algorithm failing due to memory shortage.
However, as testing usually occurs at registration, this shouldn't
be a big problem.
