Hello. I am pleased to announce new release of the acrypto for 2.6.19 kernel - first asynchronous crypto layer for Linux kernel 2.6. Acrypto allows to handle crypto requests asynchronously in hardware. Acrypto supports following features: * multiple asynchronous crypto device queues * crypto session routing (allows to complete single crypto session when several operations (crypto, hmac, anything) are completed) * crypto session binding (bind crypto processing to specified device) * modular load balancing (one can created load balancer which will get into account for example pid of the calling process) * crypto session batching genetically implemented by design (acrypto provides the whole data structure to crypto device, i.e. it is possible to use acrypto as a bridge which routes requests between completely different devices, since it does not differentiate between users, just handles requests) * crypto session priority * different kinds of crypto operation(RNG, asymmetrical crypto, HMAC and any other) Combined patchset includes: * acrypto core * IPsec ESP4 port to acrypto * dm-crypt port to acrypto * OCF to acrypto bridge, which allows to run OCF device drivers with acrypto (for example ixp4xx), requires OCF installed. Ported crypto drivers and benchmarks can be found on acrypto homepage: http://tservice.net.ru/~s0mbre/old/?section=projects&item=acrypto Changes from previous release: * moved to 2.6.19 crypto API where it is used * updated XFRM engine * bugfixes 2.6.16 - 2.6.18 releases moved to maintenance mode. Patchset is not attached due to its size (192kb).
