Reg. #308263 - Collinstown Industrial Park, Leixlip, County Kildare - Ireland Precedence: bulk List-ID: X-Mailing-List: linux-crypto@vger.kernel.org The CRYPTO_ALG_ALLOCATES_MEMORY flag doesn't allow to distinguish between implementations which don't allocate memory for scatterlists with 4 or less entries (the typical case for dm-crypt) and those that do. The flag's meaning is adjusted based on the ML discussion below. This patch removes the need to set the flag if the implementation can handle scatterlists up to 4 entries without allocating memory. The documentation is updated accordingly, with an extra clarification regarding sleeping.
