The patch below was submitted to be applied to the 5.18-stable tree.

I fail to see how this patch meets the stable kernel rules as found at Documentation/process/stable-kernel-rules.rst.

I could be totally wrong, and if so, please respond to stable@vger.kernel.org and let me know why this patch should be applied. Otherwise, it is now dropped from my patch queues, never to be seen again.

thanks,

Re-enable the registration of algorithms after fixes to (1) use pre-allocated buffers in the datapath and (2) support the CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_BACKLOG flag.

This reverts commit 8893d27ffcaf6ec6267038a177cb87bcde4dd3de.
