Actually, I thought using CRYPTO_ALG_ASYNC in the mask meant to _exclude_ asynchronous algorithms. Is there any documentation for Linux crypto API that documents use of CRYPTO_ALG_ASYNC? Also, I'd like to know meanings of CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_BACKLOG and CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_SLEEP. The crypto API feels like a minefield to me - I should check everything in the code or even experiment to figure out how the public API works. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-crypto" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
