This totally breaks Tadeusz Struk's attempt at making an AIO interface for algif_skcipher: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/5971491/ Now granted nothing in the network stack ever supported AIO so maybe this is a bad idea anyway. But I guess it's a good time and place to discuss what alternatives are available for Tadeus to export his crypto hardware using an asynchronous interface to user-space?
