Yes, I have seen the issue but there is no explanation why it doesn't work. So not sure if a patch entered this version by chance or the splice/payload just needs adjusting.

Poor coordination

As far as I can tell, AF_ALG's zero-copy support was accidentally removed from the 6.1 LTS kernel last year, and thus 6.1 wasn't affected by copy.fail. This was unique to 6.1.

The zero-copy support should, of course, just be removed from AF_ALG everywhere.
