The TX SGL may contain SGL entries that are assigned a NULL page. This
may happen if a multi-stage AIO operation is performed where the data
for each stage is pointed to by one SGL entry. Upon completion of that
stage, af_alg_pull_tsgl will assign NULL to the SGL entry.
The NULL cipher used to copy the AAD from TX SGL to the destination
buffer, however, cannot handle the case where the SGL starts with an SGL
entry having a NULL page. Thus, the code needs to advance the start
pointer into the SGL to the first non-NULL entry.
This fixes a crash visible on Intel x86 32 bit using the libkcapi test
suite.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
