This patchset adds a netlink based user configuration API for the crypto layer, similar to the configuration API of xfrm. The patchset is based on the current cryptodev-2.6 tree and also available at branch 'crypto-user-config-api' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/klassert/linux-stk.git A userspace tool that makes use of the configuration API is temporarily available at http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/klassert/crconf/ With this it is possible to instantiate certain algorithms by doing crconf add driver "cbc(aes-generic)" type 4 or crconf add driver "cbc(aes-generic)" type 4 priority 100 To remove a (form templates build and unused) algorithm with all subsequent algorithms do crconf del driver "cbc(aes-generic)" type 4 It is possible to update the priority of an algorithm by doing crconf update driver "cbc(aes-generic)" type 4 priority 200 this updates the priority of this and all subsequent algorithms. Finally it is possible to print the instantiated crypto algorithms similar to /proc/crypto by doing crconf show all This prints the algorithm informations of all instantiated algorithms as long as the information fits into a netlink message.
