The flags field in 'struct shash_desc' never actually does anything.
The only ostensibly supported flag is CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_SLEEP.
However, no shash algorithm ever sleeps, making this flag a no-op.
With this being the case, inevitably some users who can't sleep wrongly
pass MAY_SLEEP. These would all need to be fixed if any shash algorithm
actually started sleeping. For example, the shash_ahash_*() functions,
which wrap a shash algorithm with the ahash API, pass through MAY_SLEEP
from the ahash API to the shash API. However, the shash functions are
called under kmap_atomic(), so actually they're assumed to never sleep.
Even if it turns out that some users do need preemption points while
hashing large buffers, we could easily provide a helper function
crypto_shash_update_large() which divides the data into smaller chunks
and calls crypto_shash_update() and cond_resched() for each chunk. It's
not necessary to have a flag in 'struct shash_desc', nor is it necessary
to make individual shash algorithms aware of this at all.
Therefore, remove shash_desc::flags, and document that the
crypto_shash_*() functions can be called from any context.

Remove dead code related to internal IV generators, which are no longer
used since they've been replaced with the "seqiv" and "echainiv"
templates. The removed code includes:
- The "givcipher" (GIVCIPHER) algorithm type. No algorithms are
registered with this type anymore, so it's unneeded.
- The "const char *geniv" member of aead_alg, ablkcipher_alg, and
blkcipher_alg. A few algorithms still set this, but it isn't used
anymore except to show via /proc/crypto and CRYPTO_MSG_GETALG.
Just hardcode "<default>" or "<none>" in those cases.
- The 'skcipher_givcrypt_request' structure, which is never used.

Some crypto API users allocating a tfm with crypto_alloc_$FOO() are also
specifying the type flags for $FOO, e.g. crypto_alloc_shash() with
CRYPTO_ALG_TYPE_SHASH. But, that's redundant since the crypto API will
override any specified type flag/mask with the correct ones.
So, remove the unneeded flags.
This patch shouldn't change any actual behavior.

async_raid6_2data_recov() recovers two data disk failures
async_raid6_datap_recov() recovers a data disk and the P disk
These routines are a port of the synchronous versions found in
drivers/md/raid6recov.c. The primary difference is breaking out the xor
operations into separate calls to async_xor. Two helper routines are
introduced to perform scalar multiplication where needed.
async_sum_product() multiplies two sources by scalar coefficients and
then sums (xor) the result. async_mult() simply multiplies a single
source by a scalar.
This implemention also includes, in contrast to the original
synchronous-only code, special case handling for the 4-disk and 5-disk
array cases. In these situations the default N-disk algorithm will
present 0-source or 1-source operations to dma devices. To cover for
dma devices where the minimum source count is 2 we implement 4-disk and
5-disk handling in the recovery code.

[ Based on an original patch by Yuri Tikhonov ]
This adds support for doing asynchronous GF multiplication by adding
two additional functions to the async_tx API:
async_gen_syndrome() does simultaneous XOR and Galois field
multiplication of sources.
async_syndrome_val() validates the given source buffers against known P
and Q values.
When a request is made to run async_pq against more than the hardware
maximum number of supported sources we need to reuse the previous
generated P and Q values as sources into the next operation. Care must
be taken to remove Q from P' and P from Q'. For example to perform a 5
source pq op with hardware that only supports 4 sources at a time the
following approach is taken:
p, q = PQ(src0, src1, src2, src3, COEF({01}, {02}, {04}, {08}))
p', q' = PQ(p, q, q, src4, COEF({00}, {01}, {00}, {10}))
p' = p + q + q + src4 = p + src4
q' = {00}*p + {01}*q + {00}*q + {10}*src4 = q + {10}*src4
Note: 4 is the minimum acceptable maxpq otherwise we punt to
synchronous-software path.
The DMA_PREP_CONTINUE flag indicates to the driver to reuse p and q as
sources (in the above manner) and fill the remaining slots up to maxpq
with the new sources/coefficients.
Note1: Some devices have native support for P+Q continuation and can skip
this extra work. Devices with this capability can advertise it with
dma_set_maxpq. It is up to each driver how to handle the
DMA_PREP_CONTINUE flag.
Note2: The api supports disabling the generation of P when generating Q,
this is ignored by the synchronous path but is implemented by some dma
devices to save unnecessary writes. In this case the continuation
algorithm is simplified to only reuse Q as a source.

async_xor() needs space to perform dma and page address conversions. In
most cases the code can simply reuse the struct page * array because the
size of the native pointer matches the size of a dma/page address. In
order to support archs where sizeof(dma_addr_t) is larger than
sizeof(struct page *), or to preserve the input parameters, we utilize a
memory region passed in by the caller.
Since the code is now prepared to handle the case where it cannot
perform address conversions on the stack, we no longer need the
!HIGHMEM64G dependency in drivers/dma/Kconfig.

Prepare the api for the arrival of a new parameter, 'scribble'. This
will allow callers to identify scratchpad memory for dma address or page
address conversions. As this adds yet another parameter, take this
opportunity to convert the common submission parameters (flags,
dependency, callback, and callback argument) into an object that is
passed by reference.
Also, take this opportunity to fix up the kerneldoc and add notes about
the relevant ASYNC_TX_* flags for each routine.

In support of inter-channel chaining async_tx utilizes an ack flag to
gate whether a dependent operation can be chained to another. While the
flag is not set the chain can be considered open for appending. Setting
the ack flag closes the chain and flags the descriptor for garbage
collection. The ASYNC_TX_DEP_ACK flag essentially means "close the
chain after adding this dependency". Since each operation can only have
one child the api now implicitly sets the ack flag at dependency
submission time. This removes an unnecessary management burden from
clients of the api.

'zero_sum' does not properly describe the operation of generating parity
and checking that it validates against an existing buffer. Change the
name of the operation to 'val' (for 'validate'). This is in
anticipation of the p+q case where it is a requirement to identify the
target parity buffers separately from the source buffers, because the
target parity buffers will not have corresponding pq coefficients.

"Wouldn't it be better if the dmaengine layer made sure it didn't pass
the same channel several times to a client?
I mean, you seem concerned that the memcpy() API should be transparent
and easy to use, but the whole registration interface is just
ridiculously complicated..."
- Haavard
The dmaengine and async_tx registration/allocation interface is indeed
needlessly complicated. This redesign has the following goals:
1/ Simplify reference counting: dma channels are not something one would
expect to be hotplugged, it should be an exceptional event handled by
drivers not something clients should be mandated to handle in a
callback. The common case channel removal event is 'rmmod <dma driver>',
which for simplicity should be disallowed if the channel is in use.
2/ Add an interface for requesting exclusive access to a channel
suitable to device-to-memory users.
3/ Convert all memory-to-memory users over to a common allocator, the goal
here is to not have competing channel allocation schemes. The only
competition should be between device-to-memory exclusive allocations and
the memory-to-memory usage case where channels are shared between
multiple "clients".

which does not match the declaration of crypto_hash_digest() in
include/linux/crypto.h.
(static inline int crypto_hash_digest(struct hash_desc *desc,
struct scatterlist *sg, unsigned int nbytes, u8 *out)
The code in the example passes the address of a pointer (an array actually) as
the second argument, while the function expects the pointer itself.
I have attached a patch to fix this.
