2011-11-11crypto: algapi - Fix build problem with NET disabledHerbert Xu
The report functions use NLA_PUT so we need to ensure that NET is enabled. Reported-by: Luis Henriques <henrix@camandro.org> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

2009-07-14crypto: api - Remove frontend argument from extsize/init_tfmHerbert Xu
As the extsize and init_tfm functions belong to the frontend the frontend argument is superfluous. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

2009-03-04crypto: compress - Add pcomp interfaceGeert Uytterhoeven
The current "comp" crypto interface supports one-shot (de)compression only, i.e. the whole data buffer to be (de)compressed must be passed at once, and the whole (de)compressed data buffer will be received at once. In several use-cases (e.g. compressed file systems that store files in big compressed blocks), this workflow is not suitable. Furthermore, the "comp" type doesn't provide for the configuration of (de)compression parameters, and always allocates workspace memory for both compression and decompression, which may waste memory. To solve this, add a "pcomp" partial (de)compression interface that provides the following operations: - crypto_compress_{init,update,final}() for compression, - crypto_decompress_{init,update,final}() for decompression, - crypto_{,de}compress_setup(), to configure (de)compression parameters (incl. allocating workspace memory). The (de)compression methods take a struct comp_request, which was mimicked after the z_stream object in zlib, and contains buffer pointer and length pairs for input and output. The setup methods take an opaque parameter pointer and length pair. Parameters are supposed to be encoded using netlink attributes, whose meanings depend on the actual (name of the) (de)compression algorithm.
