Here is a related questions that might help me . . .
Do any of you know of a ahash and ablkcipher driver that is known to have worked with dm-crypt? I would like to look at that code.
The drivers that I have look at so far seem to set the cra_flags the same as I have; I want to know if there is a driver that is known to have worked and look at it's cra_flags settings.

Folks: In __crypto_alg_lookup, at about line 85 of api.c, there is the following: if ((q->cra_flags ^ type) & mask) continue; There is no commenting on this at all. Can someone please explain what this is for and just what is this trying to filter? I am trying to get dm-crypt to work with a ahash device that we have.The dm-crypt is calling crypto_alloc_hash with "sha256" type 0, and mask 0x 80My driver is setting these flags: .cra_flags = CRYPTO_ALG_TYPE_AHASH | CRYPTO_ALG_ASYNC, The search seems to be failing at the above sequence in __crypto_alg_lookup. Is dm-crypt supposed to work with ahash? The Documentation/crypto does not seem to include much information on using the ahash and ablkcipher infrastructure. There is one document called async-tx-api.txt that seems to have no correlation with the ahash or ablkcipher stuff. Is it still valid? Is there another place I can look for decent documentation?
