It didn't help. The original oops says the problem was in strcmp. It was a GPF, which suggests to me that one of the arguments is NULL. Since ops->name is checked at the beginning of the function, the only other possibility is that alg->ops->name is NULL. I added a bit of code to check for this, and it turns out that one of the strings was indeed NULL. I didn't know where to go from there in debugging, but I hope it helps.
Thanks,
