Subject: I have a Question about linux asynchronous crypto

Hi all

sorry to borther you.

I saw the linux crypto code,and found there is no asynchronous crypto
implemented by software,
only the hardware such as talitos implements async crypto.

I am right,or I miss someting？

thanks all.

As far as I can see, I agree. The generic implementations all seem to
be synchronous.

We do have pcrypt which is a wrapper that turns any sync
implementation into an async one by spreading requests across
CPUs.
