Hi Linus:
This push fixes a security problem in the talitos driver which was added after 2.6.26. When triggered talitos may cause two IPsec packets to be generated with the same IV which weakens the protection offered by encryption. This only affects talitos users obviously.
Please pull from
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/herbert/crypto-2.6.git
or
