The following patch series adds support for partial (de)compression to the CRYPTO API, and modifies SquashFS 4 to use this: [1] crypto: compress - Add pcomp interface [2] crypto: testmgr - Add support for the pcomp interface [3] crypto: new zlib crypto module, using pcomp [4] crypto: testmgr - add zlib test [5] squashfs: Make SquashFS 4 use the new pcomp crypto interface The patches are based on: linux-2.6.git + cryptodev-2.6.git + commit 3f683d61 ("crypto: api - Fix crypto_alloc_tfm/create_create_tfm return convention") Changes since last version (2009-02-13): - Convert crypto_pcomp to a new-style crypto module, using crypto_alloc_tfm() instead of crypto_alloc_base() - Pass crypto_pcomp pointers instead of crypto_tfm pointers where appropriate - Use crypto_destroy_tfm() instead of crypto_free_tfm(), to take into account the offset info the slab object - Remove redundant check for CRYPTO_ALG_TYPE_PCOMPRESS in crypto_pcomp_init_tfm() - Use separate setup functions for compression and decompression - Sanitize naming to crypto_{,de}compress_{setup,init,update,final}() - Remove backwards-compatibility layer (export pcomp through comp), as requested by Herbert Xu - Create a new "zlib" pcomp module instead of modifying the existing "deflate" comp module - Readd accidentally removed ".cra_module = THIS_MODULE", which allowed the zlib module to be rmmoded while it was in use - Fix the pcomp/testmgr dependency With kind regards, Geert Uytterhoeven Software Architect Sony Techsoft Centre Europe The Corporate Village · Da Vincilaan 7-D1 · B-1935 Zaventem · Belgium Phone: +32 (0)2 700 8453 Fax: +32 (0)2 700 8622 E-mail: Geert.Uytterhoeven@xxxxxxxxxxx Internet: http://www.sony-europe.com/ A division of Sony Europe (Belgium) N.V.
