8 The crypto engine (CE) API is a crypto queue manager.
12 You must put, at the start of your transform context your_tfm_ctx, the structure
18 struct crypto_engine engine;
22 The crypto engine only manages asynchronous requests in the form of
23 crypto_async_request. It cannot know the underlying request type and thus only
24 has access to the transform structure. It is not possible to access the context
25 using container_of. In addition, the engine knows nothing about your
26 structure "``struct your_tfm_ctx``". The engine assumes (requires) the placement
27 of the known member ``struct crypto_engine`` at the beginning.
31 You are required to obtain a struct crypto_engine via ``crypto_engine_alloc_init()``.
32 Start it via ``crypto_engine_start()``. When finished with your work, shut down the
33 engine using ``crypto_engine_stop()`` and destroy the engine with
34 ``crypto_engine_exit()``.
36 Before transferring any request, you have to fill the context enginectx by
37 providing functions for the following:
39 * ``prepare_crypt_hardware``: Called once before any prepare functions are
42 * ``unprepare_crypt_hardware``: Called once after all unprepare functions have
45 * ``prepare_cipher_request``/``prepare_hash_request``: Called before each
46 corresponding request is performed. If some processing or other preparatory
47 work is required, do it here.
49 * ``unprepare_cipher_request``/``unprepare_hash_request``: Called after each
50 request is handled. Clean up / undo what was done in the prepare function.
52 * ``cipher_one_request``/``hash_one_request``: Handle the current request by
53 performing the operation.
55 Note that these functions access the crypto_async_request structure
56 associated with the received request. You are able to retrieve the original
61 container_of(areq, struct yourrequesttype_request, base);
63 When your driver receives a crypto_request, you must to transfer it to
64 the crypto engine via one of:
66 * crypto_transfer_aead_request_to_engine()
68 * crypto_transfer_akcipher_request_to_engine()
70 * crypto_transfer_hash_request_to_engine()
72 * crypto_transfer_kpp_request_to_engine()
74 * crypto_transfer_skcipher_request_to_engine()
76 At the end of the request process, a call to one of the following functions is needed:
78 * crypto_finalize_aead_request()
80 * crypto_finalize_akcipher_request()
82 * crypto_finalize_hash_request()
84 * crypto_finalize_kpp_request()
86 * crypto_finalize_skcipher_request()
