Since there is a kernel SRU request in progress to include that patch anyway, ( addressed in LP 1832623 '[UBUNTU] kernel: Fix gcm-aes-s390 wrong scatter-gather list processing' - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-z-systems/+bug/1832623 ) I suggest to wait until this hits -proposed and is ready for verification - if that is okay for you?!

Then run the following command from one of the machine: ``` $# ping <other_machine_ip> -s 1024 ``` Small packet sizes are working as expected. However, anything large (around 1024 bytes or more) are sometimes returning wrong values, or the packets are getting lost. This problem does not occur for ciphers not involving GCM.
