[PATCH 0/6] net/crypto: Introduce crypto_pool

[Dmitry Safonov]

Add crypto_pool - an API for allocating per-CPU array of crypto requests
on slow-path (in sleep'able context) and to use them on a fast-path,
which is RX/TX for net/ users (or in any other bh-disabled users).
The design is based on the current implementations of md5sig_pool.

Previously, I've suggested to add such API on TCP-AO patch submission [1], 
where Herbert kindly suggested to help with introducing new crypto API.

New API will allow:
- to reuse per-CPU ahash_request(s) for different users
- to allocate only one per-CPU scratch buffer rather than a new one for
  each user
- to have a common API for net/ users that need ahash on RX/TX fast path

In this version I've wired up TCP-MD5 and IPv6-SR-HMAC as users.
Potentially, xfrm_ipcomp and xfrm_ah can be converted as well.
The initial reason for patches would be to have TCP-AO as a user, which
would let it share per-CPU crypto_request for any supported hashing
algorithm.

While at it, I've also made TCP-MD5 static key dynamically switchable.
This means that after TCP-MD5 was used and the last key got destroyed,
the static branch is disabled and any potential penalty for checking
tcp_md5sig_info is gone, and the system's tcp performance should be as
if it never had TCP-MD5 key defined.
