Re: [RFC PATCH v2] crypto: Add IV generation algorithms

Hi Herbert, Sorry for the delayed response, I was busy with testing dm-crypt with bonnie++ for regressions. I tried to find some alternative way to keep the IV algorithms' registration in the dm-crypt. Also there were some changes done in dm-crypt keys structure too recently. c538f6e dm crypt: ad

[RFC PATCH] crypto: skcipher - introduce walksize attribute for SIMD algos

In some cases, SIMD algorithms can only perform optimally when allowed to operate on multiple input blocks in parallel. This is especially true for bit slicing algorithms, which typically take the same amount of time processing a single block or 8 blocks in parallel. However, other SIMD algorithms
