2007-05-02[CRYPTO] api: Add async block cipher interfaceHerbert Xu
This patch adds the frontend interface for asynchronous block ciphers. In addition to the usual block cipher parameters, there is a callback function pointer and a data pointer. The callback will be invoked only if the encrypt/decrypt handlers return -EINPROGRESS. In other words, if the return value of zero the completion handler (or the equivalent code) needs to be invoked by the caller. The request structure is allocated and freed by the caller. Its size is determined by calling crypto_ablkcipher_reqsize(). The helpers ablkcipher_request_alloc/ablkcipher_request_free can be used to manage the memory for a request.

2007-05-02[CRYPTO] api: Proc functions should be marked as unusedHerbert Xu
The proc functions were incorrectly marked as used rather than unused. They may be unused if proc is disabled. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2007-02-07[CRYPTO] api: Allow multiple frontends per backendHerbert Xu
This patch adds support for multiple frontend types for each backend algorithm by passing the type and mask through to the backend type init function. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2007-02-07[CRYPTO] all: Check for usage in hard IRQ contextHerbert Xu
Using blkcipher/hash crypto operations in hard IRQ context can lead to random memory corruption due to the reuse of kmap_atomic slots. Since crypto operations were never meant to be used in hard IRQ contexts, this patch checks for such usage and returns an error before kmap_atomic is performed.

2006-12-13[PATCH] uml problems with linux/io.hAl Viro
Remove useless includes of linux/io.h, don't even try to build iomap_copy on uml (it doesn't have readb() et.al., so...)

2006-09-21[CRYPTO] cipher: Added block cipher typeHerbert Xu
This patch adds the new type of block ciphers. Unlike current cipher algorithms which operate on a single block at a time, block ciphers operate on an arbitrarily long linear area of data. As it is block-based, it will skip any data remaining at the end which cannot form a block. The block cipher has one major difference when compared to the existing block cipher implementation. The sg walking is now performed by the algorithm rather than the cipher mid-layer. This is needed for drivers that directly support sg lists. It also improves performance for all algorithms as it reduces the total number of indirect calls by one. In future the existing cipher algorithm will be converted to only have a single-block interface. This will be done after all existing users have switched over to the new block cipher type.
