From 03c8efc1ffeb6b82a22c1af8dd908af349563314 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Herbert Xu Date: Tue, 19 Oct 2010 21:12:39 +0800 Subject: crypto: af_alg - User-space interface for Crypto API This patch creates the backbone of the user-space interface for the Crypto API, through a new socket family AF_ALG. Each session corresponds to one or more connections obtained from that socket. The number depends on the number of inputs/outputs of that particular type of operation. For most types there will be a s ingle connection/file descriptor that is used for both input and output. AEAD is one of the few that require two inputs. Each algorithm type will provide its own implementation that plugs into af_alg. They're keyed using a string such as "skcipher" or "hash". IOW this patch only contains the boring bits that is required to hold everything together. Thakns to Miloslav Trmac for reviewing this and contributing fixes and improvements.
