      crypto: algif_skcipher - overhaul memory management · e870456d
      Stephan Mueller authored
      The updated memory management is described in the top part of the code.
      As one benefit of the changed memory management, the AIO and synchronous
      operation is now implemented in one common function. The AF_ALG
      operation uses the async kernel crypto API interface for each cipher
      operation. Thus, the only difference between the AIO and sync operation
      types visible from user space is:
      
      1. the callback function to be invoked when the asynchronous operation
         is completed
      
      2. whether to wait for the completion of the kernel crypto API operation
         or not
      
      In addition, the code structure is adjusted to match the structure of
      algif_aead for easier code assessment.
      
      The user space interface changed slightly as follows: the old AIO
      operation returned zero upon success and < 0 in case of an error to user
      space. As all other AF_ALG interfaces (including the sync skcipher
      interface) returned the number of processed bytes upon success and < 0
      in case of an error, the new skcipher interface (regardless of AIO or
      sync) returns the number of processed bytes in case of success.
