2008-01-11[CRYPTO] cryptd: Use geniv of the underlying algorithmHerbert Xu1-0/+2
If the underlying algorithm specifies a specific geniv algorithm then we should use it for the cryptd version as well. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2008-01-11[CRYPTO] ablkcipher: Add distinct ABLKCIPHER typeHerbert Xu1-2/+2
Up until now we have ablkcipher algorithms have been identified as type BLKCIPHER with the ASYNC bit set. This is suboptimal because ablkcipher refers to two things. On the one hand it refers to the top-level ablkcipher interface with requests. On the other hand it refers to and algorithm type underneath. As it is you cannot request a synchronous block cipher algorithm with the ablkcipher interface on top. This is a problem because we want to be able to eventually phase out the blkcipher top-level interface. This patch fixes this by making ABLKCIPHER its own type, just as we have distinct types for HASH and DIGEST. The type it associated with the algorithm implementation only. Which top-level interface is used for synchronous block ciphers is then determined by the mask that's used. If it's a specific mask then the old blkcipher interface is given, otherwise we go with the new ablkcipher interface. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2007-10-10[CRYPTO] ablkcipher: Remove queue pointer from common alg objectHerbert Xu1-4/+3
Since not everyone needs a queue pointer and those who need it can always get it from the context anyway the queue pointer in the common alg object is redundant. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2007-05-31[CRYPTO] cryptd: Fix problem with cryptd and the freezerRafael J. Wysocki1-1/+3
Make sure that cryptd is marked as nonfreezable and does not hold up the freezer. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2007-05-02[CRYPTO] cryptd: Add software async crypto daemonHerbert Xu1-0/+375
This patch adds the cryptd module which is a template that takes a synchronous software crypto algorithm and converts it to an asynchronous one by executing it in a kernel thread. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
