But since a single tfm can be + * used in multiple calls and in parallel, this info should not be changeable + * (unless a lock is used). This applies, for example, to the symmetric key. + * However, the IV is changeable, so there is an iv field in blkcipher_tfm + * structure for synchronous blkcipher api. So, its the only state info that can + * be kept for synchronous calls without using a big lock across a tfm. + * + * The block cipher API allows the use of a complete cipher, i.e. a cipher + * consisting of a template (a block chaining mode) and a single block cipher + * primitive (e.g. AES). + * + * The plaintext data buffer and the ciphertext data buffer are pointed to + * by using scatter/gather lists. The cipher operation is performed + * on all segments of the provided scatter/gather lists. + * + * The kernel crypto API supports a cipher operation "in-place" which means that + * the caller may provide the same scatter/gather list for the plaintext and + * cipher text. After the completion of the cipher operation, the plaintext + * data is replaced with the ciphertext data in case of an encryption and vice + * versa for a decryption.
