linux.git/crypto/geniv.c, branch v5.5 Linux kernel source tree crypto: aead - Split out geniv into its own module 2019-11-17T01:02:38+00:00 Herbert Xu herbert@gondor.apana.org.au 2019-11-08T10:41:58+00:00 20cc01baa33463e9e8b202b0cbaeafbac0f9202c If aead is built as a module along with cryptomgr, it creates a dependency loop due to the dependency chain aead => crypto_null => cryptomgr => aead. This is due to the presence of the AEAD geniv code. This code is not really part of the AEAD API but simply support code for IV generators such as seqiv. This patch moves the geniv code into its own module thus breaking the dependency loop. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> 
If aead is built as a module along with cryptomgr, it creates a
dependency loop due to the dependency chain aead => crypto_null =>
cryptomgr => aead.

This is due to the presence of the AEAD geniv code.  This code is
not really part of the AEAD API but simply support code for IV
generators such as seqiv.  This patch moves the geniv code into
its own module thus breaking the dependency loop.
