Hi George,

I will add a seperate function for xts setkey and make changes as following.
...

+
+struct crypto_alg algs[] = { {
+ .cra_flags = CRYPTO_ALG_TYPE_ABLKCIPHER | CRYPTO_ALG_ASYNC,
+ .cra_blocksize = AES_BLOCK_SIZE,
+ .cra_ctxsize = sizeof(struct cvm_enc_ctx),
+ .cra_alignmask = 7,
+ .cra_priority = 4001,
+ .cra_name = "xts(aes)",
+ .cra_driver_name = "cavium-xts-aes",
+ .cra_type = &crypto_ablkcipher_type,
+ .cra_u = {
+ .ablkcipher = {
+ .ivsize = AES_BLOCK_SIZE,
+ .min_keysize = AES_MIN_KEY_SIZE,
+ .max_keysize = AES_MAX_KEY_SIZE,
+ .setkey = cvm_enc_dec_setkey,

May I ask how the setkey for XTS is intended to work? The XTS keys are
double in size than "normal" keys.

.ablkcipher = {
.ivsize = AES_BLOCK_SIZE,
.min_keysize = 2 * AES_MIN_KEY_SIZE,
.max_keysize = 2 * AES_MAX_KEY_SIZE,
.setkey = cvm_xts_setkey,

Hope this is fine?

Sure, please do not forget to invoke xts_verify_key.

Should I be using xts_check_key or xts_verify_key?


Ciao
Stephan
