This adds request chaining to the ahash interface. Request chaining allows multiple requests to be submitted in one shot. An algorithm can elect to receive chained requests by setting the flag CRYPTO_ALG_REQ_CHAIN. If this bit is not set, the API will break up chained requests and submit them one-by-one. A new err field is added to struct crypto_async_request to record the return value for each individual request. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
