How is it possible? If I understood correctly ablkcipher_request->nbytes
has to have value equal to number of bytes placed into underlying
scatterlists, so if they do not match, hifn driver will not work at all.

Any chance you can apply following patch and check output for correct
and broken cases (it will produce 2 or 3 debug strings for each crypto
operation)?
