<p dir="auto">Just took gnutls 3.7.2 with <code>--enable-afalg</code> for a spin and there seems to be a usability problem. Application started to log cryptic error:</p>
<pre class="code highlight js-syntax-highlight language-plaintext" lang="plaintext" v-pre="true"><code><span id="LC1" class="line" lang="plaintext">libkcapi - Error: AF_ALG: bind failed (errno: -2)</span></code></pre>
<p dir="auto">Few remarks:</p>
<ul dir="auto">
<li>error is harmless since it's about missing cipher in kernel, namely salsa20 which was dropped in kernel 5.12</li>
<li>preferably error should be logged only with verbose mode, but unfortunately libkcapi does not seem to allow it</li>
<li>even in verbose mode it would be good if error had some additional info ie that it's salsa20 cipher which failed initialization</li>
</ul>
