linux-crypto, I am currently working on the zcache RAM compression driver (in the staging tree) and have a question.
I am looking to use the crypto compression API instead of the hardcoded LZO calls that are in there right now, but I need to allocate a tfm per cpu per compression algorithm being used. I've already written the code but it looks very similar to what is already in ipcomp_alloc/free_tfms() in net/xfrm/xfrm_ipcomp.c. Has there ever been any talk about implementing functions like that inside the cryptographic API in order to prevent duplicate per-cpu code by the users? Would there be any interest/objections regarding a patch that did implement them? -- Seth -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-crypto" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
