commiteb5e6730dbupstream. Instantiating "cryptd(crc32c)" causes a crypto self-test failure because the crypto_alloc_shash() in alg_test_crc32c() fails. This is because cryptd(crc32c) is an ahash algorithm, not a shash algorithm; so it can only be accessed through the ahash API, unlike shash algorithms which can be accessed through both the ahash and shash APIs. As the test is testing the shash descriptor format which is only applicable to shash algorithms, skip it for ahash algorithms. (Note that it's still important to fix crypto self-test failures even for weird algorithm instantiations like cryptd(crc32c) that no one would really use; in fips_enabled mode unprivileged users can use them to panic the kernel, and also they prevent treating a crypto self-test failure as a bug when fuzzing the kernel.)

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.
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.
