2015-03-09crypto: doc - AEAD / RNG AF_ALG interfaceStephan Mueller
The patch moves the information provided in Documentation/crypto/crypto-API-userspace.txt into a separate chapter in the kernel crypto API DocBook. Some corrections are applied (such as removing a reference to Netlink when the AF_ALG socket is referred to). In addition, the AEAD and RNG interface description is now added. Also, a brief description of the zero-copy interface with an example code snippet is provided.
