| Crypto Engine
 | |
| =============
 | |
| 
 | |
| Overview
 | |
| --------
 | |
| The crypto engine (CE) API is a crypto queue manager.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Requirement
 | |
| -----------
 | |
| You must put, at the start of your transform context your_tfm_ctx, the structure
 | |
| crypto_engine:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ::
 | |
| 
 | |
| 	struct your_tfm_ctx {
 | |
| 		struct crypto_engine engine;
 | |
| 		...
 | |
| 	};
 | |
| 
 | |
| The crypto engine only manages asynchronous requests in the form of
 | |
| crypto_async_request. It cannot know the underlying request type and thus only
 | |
| has access to the transform structure. It is not possible to access the context
 | |
| using container_of. In addition, the engine knows nothing about your
 | |
| structure "``struct your_tfm_ctx``". The engine assumes (requires) the placement
 | |
| of the known member ``struct crypto_engine`` at the beginning.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Order of operations
 | |
| -------------------
 | |
| You are required to obtain a struct crypto_engine via ``crypto_engine_alloc_init()``.
 | |
| Start it via ``crypto_engine_start()``. When finished with your work, shut down the
 | |
| engine using ``crypto_engine_stop()`` and destroy the engine with
 | |
| ``crypto_engine_exit()``.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Before transferring any request, you have to fill the context enginectx by
 | |
| providing functions for the following:
 | |
| 
 | |
| * ``prepare_crypt_hardware``: Called once before any prepare functions are
 | |
|   called.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * ``unprepare_crypt_hardware``: Called once after all unprepare functions have
 | |
|   been called.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * ``prepare_cipher_request``/``prepare_hash_request``: Called before each
 | |
|   corresponding request is performed. If some processing or other preparatory
 | |
|   work is required, do it here.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * ``unprepare_cipher_request``/``unprepare_hash_request``: Called after each
 | |
|   request is handled. Clean up / undo what was done in the prepare function.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * ``cipher_one_request``/``hash_one_request``: Handle the current request by
 | |
|   performing the operation.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Note that these functions access the crypto_async_request structure
 | |
| associated with the received request. You are able to retrieve the original
 | |
| request by using:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ::
 | |
| 
 | |
| 	container_of(areq, struct yourrequesttype_request, base);
 | |
| 
 | |
| When your driver receives a crypto_request, you must to transfer it to
 | |
| the crypto engine via one of:
 | |
| 
 | |
| * crypto_transfer_aead_request_to_engine()
 | |
| 
 | |
| * crypto_transfer_akcipher_request_to_engine()
 | |
| 
 | |
| * crypto_transfer_hash_request_to_engine()
 | |
| 
 | |
| * crypto_transfer_kpp_request_to_engine()
 | |
| 
 | |
| * crypto_transfer_skcipher_request_to_engine()
 | |
| 
 | |
| At the end of the request process, a call to one of the following functions is needed:
 | |
| 
 | |
| * crypto_finalize_aead_request()
 | |
| 
 | |
| * crypto_finalize_akcipher_request()
 | |
| 
 | |
| * crypto_finalize_hash_request()
 | |
| 
 | |
| * crypto_finalize_kpp_request()
 | |
| 
 | |
| * crypto_finalize_skcipher_request()
 |
