So import() will look like this? static int sahara_sha_import(struct ahash_request *req, const void *in) { struct sahara_sha_reqctx *rctx = ahash_request_ctx(req); mutex_init(&rctx->mutex); memcpy(rctx, in, sizeof(struct sahara_sha_reqctx)); return 0; } Thanks -- 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
