linux-toradex.git/crypto/crc32c_generic.c, branch v4.9.65 Linux kernel for Apalis and Colibri modules crypto: crc32c - Fix crc32c soft dependency 2016-01-19T07:52:10+00:00 Jean Delvare jdelvare@suse.de 2016-01-18T16:06:05+00:00 fd7f6727102a1ccf6b4c1dfcc631f9b546526b26 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.) Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Cc: Tim Chen <tim.c.chen@linux.intel.com> Cc: "David S.

crypto: add missing crypto module aliases 2015-01-13T11:29:11+00:00 Mathias Krause minipli@googlemail.com 2015-01-11T17:17:42+00:00 3e14dcf7cb80b34a1f38b55bc96f02d23fdaaaaf 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.

CRC32C: Add soft module dependency to load other accelerated crc32c modules 2014-02-25T11:45:04+00:00 Tim Chen tim.c.chen@linux.intel.com 2014-01-23T11:25:47+00:00 06e5a1f29819759392239669beb2cad27059c8ec 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.
