The following patch series adds support for partial (de)compression to the CRYPTO API, and modifies SquashFS 4 to use this: [1] crypto: testmgr - Correct comment about deflate parameters [2] crypto: compress - Add pcomp interface [3] crypto: testmgr - Add support for the pcomp interface [4] crypto: api - Add type init function to crypto_tfm [5] crypto: api - Export pcomp through comp [6] crypto: deflate - switch to pcomp [7] crypto: testmgr - swith deflate test to pcomp [8] squashfs: Make SquashFS 4 use the new pcomp crypto interface All patches are relative to cryptodev-2.6.git, except for the last one, which is relative to squashfs-2.6.git. The first patch is independent and can be applied immediately, but I included it in this series to avoid rejects. The backwards-compatibility layer has been tested with IPComp and UBIFS. Changes since last version (2008-11-24): - Add a new "pcomp" crypto interface, instead of modifying the existing "comp" interface, with a compatibility layer, - Modify the existing "deflate" module, instead of adding a new "zlib" module, - Add support for the configuration of (de)compression parameters, - Separate allocation for compression and decompression, to avoid memory wastage.
