Correct. > In the tls.c example that you have, the opfd is generated from > the accept() on the AF_ALG socket- how would this work if I wanted > my opfd to be a PF_RDS or a PF_KCM or similar? For kcm, opfd is the fd you would pass along in kcm_attach. For rds, it looks like you'd want to use opfd as the sock instead of the new one created by sock_create_kern in rds_tcp_conn_connect. > One concern is that this patchset provides a solution for the "80%" > case but what about the other 20% (and the non x86 platforms)? Almost all the rest are aes sha. The actual encrypt / decrypt code would be similar to this previous patch: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=140662647602192&w=2 The software routines in gcm(aes) should work for all platforms without aesni. > E.g., if I get a cipher-suite request outside the aes-ni, what would > happen (punt to uspace?) > > --Sowmini Right, bind() would fail and you would fallback to uspace. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
