Of course, these patches have some context. I'm playing with the code to speed up hashing operations. For now I want to see if there is a simple design that will make better use of the Linux Crypto API which has both 'init-update-final' and 'digest' operations. One objective is to have less ioctl calls and avoid unnecessary init-updates where a single digest will do. Currently I have a CIOCHASH ioctl that is identical to CIOCCRYPT but only for hashing. In the current form it is faster for my test cases but needs some clarifications on API. I can send some code to discuss design ideas if you are interested.
