This set fixes the issues related with the dm-crypt + QAT driver
use-case.

The first patch fixes a potential dead-lock that might occur when using
dm-crypt + QAT in out of memory conditions. The datapaths of the aead
and skcipher implementations have been changed to use pre-allocated
buffers that are part of the request contexts.

The second patch addresses a stall in the dm-crypt + QAT usecase by
adding support for the CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_BACKLOG flag. If the HW queue
is full, the driver enqueues the request in a list and resubmit it at
a later time, avoiding losing it.

The last, removes the CRYPTO_ALG_ALLOCATES_MEMORY flag from the aead and
skcipher implementations so that the driver can be used by dm-crypt.

Although the set is functional, I marked it as RFC as I want to do some
code improvements on the second patch, `crypto: qat - add backlog
mechanism`, do additional performance profiling and optimizations.

Giovanni Cabiddu (2):
  crypto: qat - use pre-allocated buffers in datapath
  crypto: qat - remove CRYPTO_ALG_ALLOCATES_MEMORY flag

Vishnu Das Ramachandran (1):
  crypto: qat - add backlog mechanism
