+Subject: [PATCH] openssh: allow cryptodev ioctls
+
+When OpenSSL is built with the devcrypto engine, crypto
+operations are serviced via ioctl() calls on /dev/crypto.
+
+The pre-auth child inherits the open fd from the monitor
+but the seccomp filter only whitelists FIONREAD and
+TIOCGWINSZ, causing any cryptodev ioctl to trigger SIGSYS.
+
+The child is killed immediately after authentication
+succeeds, during the keystate transfer phase where it
+first attempts to perform a cipher or MAC operation
+through the devcrypto engine:
+```
+  monitor_child_preauth: preauth child terminated
+  by signal 31
+```
+
+As this was tested on the Airoha AN7581 with Cortex-A53
+cores, signal 31 on aarch64 is SIGSYS, confirming seccomp
+violation rather than a code defect.
+
+Add a BPF rule that allows ioctl commands with type byte
+'c' (0x63), which is the ioctl type used by all cryptodev
+operations (CIOCGSESSION, CIOCCRYPT, CIOCFSESSION, etc.).
+
+The rule matches on the type byte rather than the exact
+ioctl command values because cryptodev is an out-of-tree
+kernel module and its header is not available at OpenSSH
+build time.
+
+The rule is gated on ALLOW_CRYPTODEV_IOCTL, defined by
+the build system only when libopenssl-devcrypto is enabled.
