  • 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.

  • Unfortunately, even with a softdep some distros fail to include
    the necessary modules in the initrd. Therefore this patch adds
    a fallback path to restore existing behaviour where we cannot
    load the new crypto crct10dif algorithm.

    In order to do this, the underlying crct10dif has been split out
    from the crypto implementation so that it can be used on the
    fallback path.
