[Bug 1596557] [NEW] Upstream patch "crypto: vmx - IV size failing on skcipher API" for Ubuntu 16.04

 

Public bug reported:

There is a missing patch for 16.04. Recently, we asked the inclusion of 3 patches for the next kernel 16.04 release and all them were accepted:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1592481

I was checking the xenial-next and it's missing a commit from December last year that was merged after 4.4. The commit is 0d3d054b43719:
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=0d3d054b43719ef33232677ba27ba6097afdafbc

It's an important commit since without it the CBC and CTR will fail the
sanity check.
