Hi Herbert. Good to see async crypto processing is being (a bit slowly - more than a year after we talked about it previously :) completed. With this patchset included there will not be requirement for another async levels, so I can port HIFN 795x driver from acrypto to this one. Do you have a stable git tree to pull from, so I could prepare a testbed. (althugh I can not start right now, but expect to do it soon). And, hmm, your documentation really sucks, could you write a draft for async api and put it into the tree? Thanks for the work. -- Evgeniy Polyakov - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-crypto" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
