      crypto: af_alg - User-space interface for Crypto API · 03c8efc1
      Herbert Xu 提交于
      This patch creates the backbone of the user-space interface for
      the Crypto API, through a new socket family AF_ALG.
      
      Each session corresponds to one or more connections obtained from
      that socket.  The number depends on the number of inputs/outputs
      of that particular type of operation.  For most types there will
      be a s ingle connection/file descriptor that is used for both input
      and output.  AEAD is one of the few that require two inputs.
      
      Each algorithm type will provide its own implementation that plugs
      into af_alg.  They're keyed using a string such as "skcipher" or
      "hash".
      
      IOW this patch only contains the boring bits that is required
      to hold everything together.
      
      Thakns to Miloslav Trmac for reviewing this and contributing
      fixes and improvements.
