  • fd7f67271   crypto: crc32c - Fix crc32c soft dependency ... Browse Code »

    I don't think it makes sense for a module to have a soft dependency
    on itself. This seems quite cyclic by nature and I can't see what
    purpose it could serve.

    OTOH libcrc32c calls crypto_alloc_shash("crc32c", 0, 0) so it pretty
    much assumes that some incarnation of the "crc32c" hash algorithm has
    been loaded. Therefore it makes sense to have the soft dependency
    there (as crc-t10dif does.)

  • 3e14dcf7c   crypto: add missing crypto module aliases ... Browse Code »

    Commit 5d26a105b5a7 ("crypto: prefix module autoloading with "crypto-"")
    changed the automatic module loading when requesting crypto algorithms
    to prefix all module requests with "crypto-". This requires all crypto
    modules to have a crypto specific module alias even if their file name
    would otherwise match the requested crypto algorithm.

    Even though commit 5d26a105b5a7 added those aliases for a vast amount of
    modules, it was missing a few. Add the required MODULE_ALIAS_CRYPTO
    annotations to those files to make them get loaded automatically, again.
    This fixes, e.g., requesting 'ecb(blowfish-generic)', which used to work
    with kernels v3.18 and below.

    Also change MODULE_ALIAS() lines to MODULE_ALIAS_CRYPTO(). The former
    won't work for crypto modules any more.

    Fixes: 5d26a105b5a7 ("crypto: prefix module autoloading with "crypto-"")

  • 06e5a1f29   CRC32C: Add soft module dependency to load other accelerated crc32c modules ... Browse Code »

    We added the soft module dependency of crc32c module alias
    to generic crc32c module so other hardware accelerated crc32c
    modules could get loaded and used before the generic version.
    We also renamed the crypto/crc32c.c containing the generic
    crc32c crypto computation to crypto/crc32c_generic.c according
    to convention.
