will this reduce latencies and stalls with dm-crypt? When copying large

You can change it in async_provider in compilation time or I can create

for hardware devices which do not support realtime key changes)

Does acrypto still have the same size restrictions
I ran into with the last release?
Thanks, Andreas

Btw, async provider only supports AES-128 in CBC mode, so if you try
different ciphers, there can be some problems.
my code does

Hi,
I finally got around testing 2.6.18.1 + acrypto.
but it "does not work" - I usualy boot, enter my
passphrases for rsa key / openssl decrypts some random
bytes with them, and a hex version of those random bytes
is used with dm-setup to initialize a dm-crypt mapping
which again is used for moun

for 2.6.18 kernel tree. Acrypto allows to handle crypto requests
asynchronously in hardware.
Combined patchset includes:
