Re: Another regression in the af_alg series (s390x-specific)

[Linux regression tracking (Thorsten Leemhuis)]

Hi, Thorsten here, the Linux kernel's regression tracker. Top-posting
for once, to make this easily accessible to everyone.

What's the status wrt to this regression (caused by c1abe6f570af from
David)? It looks like there never was a real reply and the regression
still is unresolved. But maybe I missed something, which can easily
happen in my position.

Ciao, Thorsten (wearing his 'the Linux kernel's regression tracker' hat)
