New acrypto release for 2.6.20 kernel.
Acrypto
allows to handle crypto requests asynchronously in hardware.
Acrypto
supports following features:
- multiple asynchronous crypto device queues
- crypto session routing (allows to complete single crypto session when
several operations (crypto, hmac, anything) are completed)
- crypto session binding (bind crypto processing to specified device)
- modular load balancing (one can created load balancer which will get
into account for example pid of the calling process)
- crypto session batching genetically implemented by design (acrypto
provides the whole data structure to crypto device, i.e. it is
possible to use acrypto as a bridge which routes requests between
completely different devices, since it does not differentiate between
users, just handles requests)
- crypto session priority
- different kinds of crypto operation(RNG, asymmetrical crypto, HMAC and
any other)
Combined patchsets include:
- acrypto core
- IPsec ESP4 port to acrypto
- dm-crypt port to acrypto
- OCF to acrypto bridge, which allows to run OCF device drivers with acrypto (for example ixp4xx),
requires OCF installed.
Changes from previous release include:
- removed class device usage (Spotted by Markus Kammerst)
- port to 2.6.20 tree
TODO:
- extend software provider to support all types of ciphers
