Seems there are quite a few places that do not use the {aead,ablkcipher_ahash}_request_alloc() API to allocate crypto requests. Among them, IPsec and dm-crypt. I've looked at the code and I don't think it can be converted to use crypto API. This means that the CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_DMA would be visible to all of these places. Some of the maintainers do not agree, as you've seen. An alternative would be for talitos to use the page allocator to get 1 / 2 pages at probe time (4 channels x 32 entries/channel x 64B/descriptor = 8 kB), dma_map_page the area and manage it internally for talitos_desc hw descriptors. What do you think?
