crypto: algif_skcipher - overhaul memory management
The updated memory management is described in the top part of the code. As one benefit of the changed memory management, the AIO and synchronous operation is now implemented in one common function. The AF_ALG operation uses the async kernel crypto API interface for each cipher operation. Thus, the only difference between the AIO and sync operation types visible from user space is: 1. the callback function to be invoked when the asynchronous operation is completed 2. whether to wait for the completion of the kernel crypto API operation or not In addition, the code structure is adjusted to match the structure of algif_aead for easier code assessment. The user space interface changed slightly as follows: the old AIO operation returned zero upon success and < 0 in case of an error to user space. As all other AF_ALG interfaces (including the sync skcipher interface) returned the number of processed bytes upon success and < 0 in case of an error, the new skcipher interface (regardless of AIO or sync) returns the number of processed bytes in case of success.
