One more thing. Can you add some test cases to lib/siphash.h? Triggered off of a CONFIG_SIPHASH_REGRESSION_TEST config flag, with some test inputs and known outputs? I'm going to need to add a version of siphash to e2fsprogs, and I want to make sure the userspace version is implementing the same algorithm as the kernel siphash. - Ted -- 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
