   Yes. CRYPTO_ALG_ASYNC means that the implementation may complete a
   request asynchronously, not that every request must do so.

   A return value of 0 indicates synchronous completion.  Only
   -EINPROGRESS and -EBUSY cause crypto_wait_req() to wait for the
   completion callback.  The existing fallback path relies on the same
   semantics.

   There is also a direct precedent in commit 8a4e047c6cc0
   ("crypto: marvell/cesa - Handle zero-length skcipher requests").
   Marvell CESA registers asynchronous skcipher algorithms but handles a
   zero-length request with:

           if (!req->cryptlen)
                   return 0;


Thanks,
Linmao
