#1606014 — [PATCH 1/1] crypto: If two strings are exact match, they must have same length.

When both "crct10dif-pclmul" algorithm and "crct10dif-generic" algorithm
exist in crypto_alg_list, "crct10dif-pclmul" should be selected, since it
has higher priority than "crct10dif-generic". However, both algorithms
have the same cra_name "crct10dif". If we use "crct10dif" to find a
matched algorithm in crypto_alg_list, it's possible "crct10dif-generic" is
selected, because the code calls strcmp to decide if two string are exact
match, but doesn't check if two strings have the same length.

exact = !strcmp(q->cra_driver_name, name);

So ,if "crct10dif-generic" is in front of "crct10dif-pclmul" in
crypto_alg_list, it will be picked as the matched algorithm, even if it has
lower priority than "crct10dif-pclmul".

This is bogus.  Please describe how you reproduced the problem.

The priority matching should work.
