From ad5d27899fdbe7a66e57fdf1af883dbd7ff88dac Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sebastian Siewior Date: Mon, 8 Oct 2007 11:45:10 +0800 Subject: [CRYPTO] sha: Load the SHA[1|256] module by an alias Loading the crypto algorithm by the alias instead of by module directly has the advantage that all possible implementations of this algorithm are loaded automatically and the crypto API can choose the best one depending on its priority. Additionally it ensures that the generic implementation as well as the HW driver (if available) is loaded in case the HW driver needs the generic version as fallback in corner cases. Also remove the probe for sha1 in padlock's init code. Quote from Herbert: The probe is actually pointless since we can always probe when the algorithm is actually used which does not lead to dead-locks like this.
