RE: [PATCH v2 1/3] crypto: Introduce notifier for new crypto algorithms

[Jeffrey Lien]

Martin,
I tried out this latest series of patches on my system and the performance is matches what I saw with CONFIG_CRYPTO_CRCT10DIF_PCLMUL=Y, as expected.   

In this case, I applied your patches and built with CONFIG_CRYPTO_CRCT10DIF_PCLMUL=m.   

Is there anything else I should be checking or verifying?

Subject: [PATCH v2 1/3] crypto: Introduce notifier for new crypto algorithms

Introduce a facility that can be used to receive a notification callback when a new algorithm becomes available. This can be used by existing crypto registrations to trigger a switch from a software-only algorithm to a hardware-accelerated version.

A new CRYPTO_MSG_ALG_LOADED state is introduced to the existing crypto notification chain, and the register/unregister functions are exported so they can be called by subsystems outside of crypto.
