I noticed that you are making changes to the export format of hash
algorithms (s390 hmac
<https://lore.kernel.org/linux-crypto/Z-AJFwndherQBH2W@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/#r>,
caam hashing

I was in process of finalizing my driver for a v2 and had some queries
about the above feedback from you.

In my dthe_hash_ctx struct below:

+struct dthe_hash_ctx { + enum dthe_hash_algSel mode; + u16 block_size;
+ u8 digest_size; + u8 phash_available; + u32 phash[SHA512_DIGEST_SIZE /
sizeof(u32)]; + u32 phash_size; + u32 digestcnt; + u8
data_buf[SHA512_BLOCK_SIZE]; + u8 buflen; + struct completion
hash_compl; +};

You are correct in the sense that the format is /mostly/ identical to
struct sha512_state. phash[], data_buf[] and digestcnt are same as in
sha512_state. Rest of the members I can reinitialize at import. The only
one which stores some kind of state is *buflen*, which requires its
value to be restored while importing. The current driver implementation
processes input in multiples of block size and stores the remainder data
in data_buf[] if the input is not a multiple of block size. buflen has
the length of data in data_buf[].

How are you planning to restore such states in import if the export is
to be made compatible with sha512_state? Do you have any pointers for me
on how to change the import/export before sending the next revision of
my driver?
