I intend to export the flag to use space as shown below. The idea is to allow userspace libraries decide whether to use the acceleration (i.e. if the CRYPTO_ALG_KERN_DRIVER_ONLY is not given they shouldn't attempt to use the kernel algorithm). How the flag is exported by cryptodev-linux: http://repo.or.cz/w/cryptodev-linux.git/blob/aead:/ioctl.c#l716 An example of using it in userspace: http://repo.or.cz/w/cryptodev-linux.git/blob/aead:/examples/aes.c#l43 regards, Nikos -- 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
