Hi,

crypto_ahash_update()
crypto_ahash_dinup()
crypto_ahash_final()

obviously might need to return -EINPROGRESS

but can
crypto_ahash_init(req)

be synchronous?

Or it could also return EINPROGRESS, though not sense.

What do you mean by "merge operation".
request merging?
By buffering user data, you're in essence merging requests.

I have no objections to doing that, but let's not do it in every
driver.

Of course, the ultimate solution is for the end-user to produce
requests that do not need merging.  So when considering this we
need to be aware of what users are being targeted.

Thanks,
