It looks like I'm supposed to that and to use "aes" instead of "ebc(aes)". *However*, the other offender I've found (net/rxrpc/rxkad.c) uses "pcbc(fcrypt)", which doesn't appear to be usable with this API. Is there no way to say "I want synchronous crypto on this VA range" using the skcipher API? --Andy -- Andy Lutomirski AMA Capital Management, LLC -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-crypto" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
