Subject: [PATCH] crypto: Add a flag allowing the self-tests to be disabled at runtime.
Date: Fri, 29 Apr 2016 11:07:43 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1461924463-1678-2-git-send-email-rjones@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1461924463-1678-1-git-send-email-rjones@redhat.com>
Running self-tests for a short-lived KVM VM takes 28ms on my laptop.
This commit adds a flag 'cryptomgr.notests' which allows them to be
disabled.
