Here is a sequence of events to setup a crypto session: 1. user calls setkey, which results in tfm. It is possible to get a context from tfm. Context can be initialized via cra_init() callback in registered algorithm. But there is no way to provide a private pointer into that callback. So, there is no way to provide a pointer to hifn_device and thus tfm context can not find a hardware device to setup this session. Herbert, could you please elaborate how to provide a private pointer into cra_init without searching via static lists of all devices? -- 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
