Linux kernel source tree

CRYPTO_ALG_NEED_FALLBACK is handled inconsistently. When it's requested to be clear, some templates propagate that request to child algorithms, while others don't. It's apparently desired for NEED_FALLBACK to be propagated, to avoid deadlocks where a module tries to load itself while it's being initialized, and to avoid unnecessarily complex fallback chains where we have e.g. cbc-aes-$driver falling back to cbc(aes-$driver) where aes-$driver itself falls back to aes-generic, instead of cbc-aes-$driver simply falling back to cbc(aes-generic). There have been a number of fixes to this effect: commit |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
