Re: algif for compression?

Hi Herbert, We have implemented algif acomp interface for user space applications to utilize the kernel compression framework and the hardware drivers using it and have been testing it using userspace zlib library. However, what we find lacking in the existing acomp implementation is the ability

algif for compression?

I see the algif_hash and algif_blkcipher implementations to allow userspace AF_ALG socket access to kernel blkcipher and hash algorithms, but has anyone done a algif_compression to allow userspace access to compression algs? I'm asking specifically wrt the 842 crypto module, which uses the
