Polite ping :) Would like to know how to merge these patches in the mainline kernel. Thanks Farhan On 06/19/2018 11:41 AM, Farhan Ali wrote:
Hi, Currently the Linux virtio-crypto driver registers the crypto algorithm without verifying if the backend actually supports the algorithm. This kernel patch series adds support for registering algorithm with Linux crypto layer, only if the algorithm is supported by the backend device. This also makes the driver more compliant with the virtio-crypto spec [1]. I would appreciate any feedback or comments on this.
