5cde0af2a9 [CRYPTO] cipher: Added block cipher type
This patch adds the new type of block ciphers.  Unlike current cipher
algorithms which operate on a single block at a time, block ciphers
operate on an arbitrarily long linear area of data.  As it is block-based,
it will skip any data remaining at the end which cannot form a block.

The block cipher has one major difference when compared to the existing
block cipher implementation.  The sg walking is now performed by the
algorithm rather than the cipher mid-layer.  This is needed for drivers
that directly support sg lists.  It also improves performance for all
algorithms as it reduces the total number of indirect calls by one.

In future the existing cipher algorithm will be converted to only have
a single-block interface.  This will be done after all existing users
have switched over to the new block cipher type.

5c64097aa0 [CRYPTO] scatterwalk: Prepare for block ciphers
This patch prepares the scatterwalk code for use by the new block cipher
type.

Firstly it halves the size of scatter_walk on 32-bit platforms.  This
is important as we allocate at least two of these objects on the stack
for each block cipher operation.

It also exports the symbols since the block cipher code can be built as
a module.

Finally there is a hack in scatterwalk_unmap that relies on progress
being made.  Unfortunately, for hardware crypto we can't guarantee
progress to be made since the hardware can fail.

So this also gets rid of the hack by not advancing the address returned
by scatterwalk_map.

f28776a369 [CRYPTO] cipher: Added encrypt_one/decrypt_one
This patch adds two new operations for the simple cipher that encrypts or
decrypts a single block at a time.  This will be the main interface after
the existing block operations have moved over to the new block ciphers.

It also adds the crypto_cipher type which is currently only used on the
new operations but will be extended to setkey as well once existing users
have been converted to use block ciphers where applicable.

e853c3cfa8 [CRYPTO] api: Added crypto_type support
This patch adds the crypto_type structure which will be used for all new
crypto algorithm types, beginning with block ciphers.

The primary purpose of this abstraction is to allow different crypto_type
objects for crypto algorithms of the same type, in particular, there will
be a different crypto_type objects for asynchronous algorithms.

8f21cf0d2b [CRYPTO] api: Feed flag directly to crypto_yield
The sleeping flag used to determine whether crypto_yield can actually
yield is really a per-operation flag rather than a per-tfm flag.  This
patch changes crypto_yield to take a flag directly so that we can start
using a per-operation flag instead the tfm flag.

6d7d684d63 [CRYPTO] api: Added crypto_alloc_base
Up until now all crypto transforms have been of the same type, struct
crypto_tfm, regardless of whether they are ciphers, digests, or other
types.  As a result of that, we check the types at run-time before
each crypto operation.

This is rather cumbersome.  We could instead use different C types for
each crypto type to ensure that the correct types are used at compile
time.  That is, we would have crypto_cipher/crypto_digest instead of
just crypto_tfm.  The appropriate type would then be required for the
actual operations such as crypto_digest_digest.

Now that we have the type/mask fields when looking up algorithms, it
is easy to request for an algorithm of the precise type that the user
wants.  However, crypto_alloc_tfm currently does not expose these new
attributes.

This patch introduces the function crypto_alloc_base which will carry
these new parameters.  It will be renamed to crypto_alloc_tfm once
all existing users have been converted.

560c06ae1a [CRYPTO] api: Get rid of flags argument to setkey
Now that the tfm is passed directly to setkey instead of the ctx, we no
longer need to pass the &tfm->crt_flags pointer.

This patch also gets rid of a few unnecessary checks on the key length
for ciphers as the cipher layer guarantees that the key length is within
the bounds specified by the algorithm.

Rather than testing dia_setkey every time, this patch does it only once
during crypto_alloc_tfm.  The redundant check from crypto_digest_setkey
is also removed.

The convention for setkey is that once it is set it should not change,
in particular, init must not wipe out the key set by it.  In fact, init
should always be used after setkey before any digestion is performed.

833f73299f [PATCH] EXT2: Remove superblock lock contention in ext2_statfs
Fix a performance degradation introduced in 2.6.17.  (30% degradation
running dbench with 16 threads)

Commit 21730eed11, which claims to make
EXT2_DEBUG work again, moves the taking of the kernel lock out of
debug-only code in ext2_count_free_inodes and ext2_count_free_blocks and
into ext2_statfs.

The same problem was fixed in ext3 by removing the lock completely (commit
5b11687924)
