The crypto API's support for alignmasks for ahash algorithms is nearly useless, as its only effect is to cause the API to align the key and result buffers. The drivers that happen to be specifying an alignmask for ahash rarely actually need it. When they do, it's easily fixable, especially considering that these buffers cannot be used for DMA. In preparation for removing alignmask support from ahash, this patch makes the talitos driver no longer use it. This driver didn't actually rely on it; it only writes to the result buffer in common_nonsnoop_hash_unmap(), simply using memcpy(). And this driver's "ahash_setkey()" function does not assume any alignment for the key buffer. Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@google.com> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
