I'm pleased to announce new release of asynchronous crypto layer for linux kernel 2.6. Small changelog: * Removed crypto load balancer thread. * Eliminated main_crypto_dev. * Removed unused session states. * Simplified locking and reference counting. * Simplified load balancing schema. * Simple load balancer is part of acrypto module now. * Added direct completion mode. If session's callback can be invoked in any context or if crypto provider can call complete_session() from process context, one can set SESSION_DIRECT in session flags which will lead to callback invocation directly from complete_session(), but not from workqueue. * Here are dm-crypt port changes: o Reduced memory usage. o Use memory pools. o Removed several race conditions. o Code simplification.
