First, thanks for sharing. Albeit I have not had a deep look into that code, but I think your patch is incomplete: you have to tie the kernel crypto API to the key retention system in the Kconfig. I guess that is one of the concerns that Herbert may have? See my other email regarding this. -- Ciao Stephan -- 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
