Subject: [PATCH 2.6.18] crypto/api: optional cleanup functionalitiy
Date: Mon, 30 Oct 2006 18:16:55 -0800 (PST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20061031021655.20510.qmail@web55412.mail.re4.yahoo.com> (raw)
From: Ryan Cecil <rtcvb32@coffey.com>
Adds the function call cleanup to all crypto/cipher/digest calls. Certain
select ciphers require a larger dynamic memory allocation, which isn't cleaned
when closed. The cleanup code will be called to clean those up before being
released.
Signed-off-by: Ryan Cecil <rtcvb32@coffey.com>

I made this patch primarily because i was developing a cipher and it would
crash the UML/kernel. But when it did memory allocation using tcrypt
it sucked all the memory out. This fixes that problem.
